Default oil sending unit

Can someone tell me the location of the oil sending unit or sensor on my 93 SC 400. I thought it was on top of the engine next to the coolant temp sensor. I also heard it was just above the oil pan on the passenger side. The reason I ask is recently the oil light comes on whenever I turn left. (Only left). My oil level is fine so I'm thinking the sensor is going bad.
TIA

I believe it's on the oil pan drivers side. I recently took off my whole intake and the only sensor I can see on my 92 sc300 oil pan is drivers side. You can see the connector with everything still in place including intake, starter, and all.

Grumpi thanks for posting. Unfortunately I have a sc 400. I'm changing my oil this week so I'll check it out.
