I oil pressure sensor and oil pump hard to install on this car? Oil light keeps coming on and I check oil and its fine. Car does slip when going around left turn only, Is this a low trans fluid problem or can it be something else? Car shifts fine otherwise...

The engine needs to be supported to remove the oil pan (the engine subframe needs to be lowered).

Could be a low Fluid issue with the transmission shifting / slip issue.
