My son has been chasing this same thing for a year now. Did your clean up and gasket replacement fix the idiot light problem?
Ultimately still remains to be seen, but so far it hasn't happened again.

The sensor itself was pretty darn clean when I pulled it, and the float moved easily, but the connection on the outside was caked in crap. I'm most inclined to think it was the connection, and not the sensor. I'm guessing he cleaned that already?
 
You can buy them from ballenger motor sports in a couple ways with the pigtail, or just the clip, or the clip with new terminals. They are sumatomo connectors very nice quality. Or buy from Toyota. 90980-11153
 
I don't post here much, but have been reading and osmosing great wrenching knowledge over the years since I got my first 97 LC back in 2014.

First time posting on the weekend forum nonetheless, and I wanted thank the 80 community for the invaluable information shared on this forum and on the 80 Series Tech forum.

Last weekend, I followed @93yotasr5 selection and installed this... twice! - One on my 97 LC and the other on my stock 3x locked 96 LX450 (which I impulse bought last year before I retired from the Navy - and yes, the addiction for a stock 80 is real).

I went for an OEM installation look and the mechanical engineer in me thinks it turned out pretty good. I used an "L" bracket I had that in my parts pile from another project and mounted it off the charcoal canister tab, then mounted the oil catch can with its supplied bracket to the L bracket.

The L bracket position and offset clears the throttle cable, and positions the catch can in a good spot near the power steering reservoir but doesn't obstruct the fill cap nor the engine oil dipstick, and is low enough in the engine bay where nothing - catch can or hoses comes in close proximity with the hood.

Nice man! I’m glad you went the same route. I’m very happy with my set up.
 
Sorry but need to identify 2x more parts. First pic if someone can give me the part # for the exhaust gasket and for the second part those two parts came from the front. Anyone knows any of them please drop the part #, highly appreciate it.

Not yet, but I'm going to encourage him to do so. Thanks for the update.

Get on partsouq and enter your vin number they will tell you every part number you ever wanted to know. Or just google it, it would be faster than asking easily searchable questions here. Good luck

Second pic is the core support body mount. It's a combination of part numbers (Number 1 in the pic):
