As shown above, Any of the 4 plugs highlighted are oil pressure. The only one that isn't is the lower right plug, thats coolant.
Oil is supplied to the head through a restrictor, shown in the second picture.
You will need the proper size hex key and big pair of plyers. Don't hammer the key, just use the plyers and keep pulling harder and smoothly until it pops loose. It is SUPER tight.

Sorry to jack the thread with a noob question, but what is the purpose of knowing the oil pressure? I know there is a purpose and that it's important, this is just one of those car things I've never looked into.
