My oil level sending unit is leaking on my 1997 e-420. Can I pull wire off and plug hole without something falling into oil pan????

Answer
FYI: It is not safe to run without the oil pressure sensor = You assume all potential engine damage/destruction risk in doing this...
That said: Yes, it is possible. Generally MB# 0029973430 is a perfect fit. I have several MB# 0029973430 tapped for various mechanical oil gauges = special diagnostic tools. .

I have fabricated several aluminum blank off plates for the level sensor, due to Michigan corrosion. Never had any issue with them. I avoid Detroit as much as possible, for safety. .
