Sensor on block
What is the sending unit or sensor on the passenger side block rear by the starter. I have gone thru my FSM and cannot seem to find what it is. It has a metal protection shield over it that connects to the oil pan bolts. Looks like I may have an oil leak there. Oil pressure sending unit maybe?

That would be a knock sensor. But that sensor is threaded into a coolant passage so there won't (shouldn't) be any oil leakage. Maybe oil is dripping down from a leaky valve cover gasket.

95 LT1, I though the knock sensor was on the driver side. Are there 2 of them? FSM only showed the one on the driver side. FSM can be difficult to navigate, to say the least.
