I'm trying to find out what this part is thats broken. I believe its some kind of sensor. Its located on the front, top passenger's side of the engine block. There's a little cylindrical metal piece that holds it to the block. The plastic piece the wires go into snapped off and it throws a CEL, VSC light and TRAC light. I took off the top altenator bracket to get to the sensor and got it pulled out. The internal side is exposed to oil. Hope this is enough info, I couldn't get a pic. Anyways, if someone could tell me what it is and a part number if possible that would be great. I don't want to take it to the dealership so they can charge me $100 to say what it is :)

don't quote me because I didn't go look but sounds to me like an oil pressure sensor.
