Location of oil sending unit?

[Steves87]

I also can't seem to find this unit. I was told it was above the oil filter. I do see a sensor located under the turbo housing. This sensor has a long rod (6 inches) that screws into it (coming from the passenger side) and there is also a rubber connection on the other end. Is this it? If so, I must not have a stock unit since I dont have a 3 pin connector holding this on. How would this come out.

I bought the socket tool from the auto store to pull the unit out, but can't find the nut to take it off.

No, I think your describing the turbo wastegate actuator. Oil sender bolts into the block below the wastgate and above the oil filter.

Thanks,

I found it, thank you. but now how do I tighten it up? It is so hard to get at with just hands, I cant get a wrench in there to tighten it up.

Try taking the fan shroud off and maybe the fan belts. Then you can get at it from the top.
