You will probably have to rotate that crank throw in order to pull the sender inside. Why it was designed in that manner is beyond me. I think I just used my handheld starter switch to pop it over a bit.
Buy two of each of the seals needed in the event you lose one or tear one. They are inexpensive enough. Most M116/7s I have seen have this leak, very common and very easy to fix.
Obviously attempt to do this around the time you perform an oil service and be careful with those allen head bolts.
