Default Oil Temperature Sensor wiring

I am helping my cousin on a clutch install on his C5 and we managed to rip the wired out of the connector for the oil filter mounted Oil temperature sensor.

I really just need someone to look at the wires and tell me which is left and which is right in relation to the clip that is used to hold the plug on.

Lets say from the wire side looking to the sensor and the clip on top. What color is the left wire and what color is the right wire.

It may not even matter but figure it would be easy to check but I haven't found anything that has helped me yet.


Thanks for any help.

The sensor is on the drivers side bottom. Just above the oil filter.
