Replace the sensor, a LP motor wont sludge unless you drive only 5
miles a day at -20f

Because that oil level sensor must be unique to the European models. I've
worked on Toyotas for close to ten years here in the states, and have
never seen an oil level sensor. I was just curious. Wish I could help you
out, but I have no idea where that sucker is, though I would imagine it
must be somewhere on the oil pan.

This is interesting: It's from an MR2 Rebuild site:

The oil level sensor is located on the front of the oil pan. I'd
spent some time removing the old sealant that coated the sensor.
Probably a fruitless effort, as every sensor I've seen seems to have
gasket sealant liberally applied to stop oil leaks. The Toyota design
relies upon an o-ring to seal the hole:

Come to think of it, I think an old, old Toyota I had did have an oil
level indicator!

And while searxching I found this: Beautiful!
