I believe the oil level sender in the 987 is effectively a dual element unit that also includes a temperature sensor as well. The sensor isnt wired up on the 987 to display though , it goes back into the rear DME. Its possible the position of the oil level sensor in the 987 may be a blanked position in the 986 and the 987 dual element sensor could be retro fitted ? Since the 987 and 997 and likely 996/986 share much of the same engine components Id suggest that looking at the part and location of the temp sensor in the 996 may be a good starting point. Its possible the 986 shares the same part as the 996 which may also be a dual element unit though not wired on the 986.
