Smile oil pressure sensor?

i had to take my truck into the shop to get looked at because all my tools are packed up and ready to move. so, luckily the wife works at a local car dealer and there diesel mech seems to be a good guy and from what i hear has a pretty good following. i dropped the truck off because it was leaking oil and the wife just called and said that it was an oil pressure sensor seal and it will be less than a $100 to get it fixed. i am good with spending the cash because i dont have the time to fool with myself. my question for y'all is where is the oil pressure sensor? the oil was pooling up in the valley and i had suspected the HPOP or the pedastool. does anyone have a pic they can show me. i love the education i am getting from this site. thanks FTE!

The LPOP sensor is on the top of the HPOP reservoir and if leaking would be easily seen. I've never seem one leak if tight. I suspect it was the ICP (HPO sensor) on the driver side head right in front of the lifting ring. It has an o-ring that can start to leak.

This pic is of mine. Don't let the extra pair of wires confuse you. It has a pig-tail splice for my HPOP pressure gauge.
