That's not a wire! it's a capillary tube. And once it's broke you must
replace the whole thing. I think you can disassemble the gauge and
remove the "sending unit" portion. I don't know if you can get a
replacement.
As far as the oil line goes, I would use copper tube. I just bought some
at pep boys for the vacuum advance.
