is oil conductive? I'm thinking two long wires about 1/2 inch different in length. expose a 1/8 of the wire out of the insulation. Feed them down and when they touch... You could use something like a liquid level indicator with those wires alligator clipped to the leads to make a beeping. But is oil conductive?
