oil pressure sensor

Does anyone know the location of this sensor? At start up my oil light flickers about 2 - 3 times and then goes away. I am hoping is due to the oil pressure building up in the morning after sitting. However, lately since driving almost 100 plus miles per day to and from work, when engaging the clutch to change gears, the light starts to flicker as well. I need to check this out before going forward. Anyone have any ideas?!

it's by the oil pan. If you are facing the front of the car and the oil filter is to your right, then socket should be in your face. There's a cable to connect's to it.

why dont you start by checking how much oil is in your car ? If its right on the money then i suggest you replace the oil pressure sending unit.
