2000 civic d16y8 - oil pressure switch (location?)

I believe I have a leaking oil pressure switch. I do not think this is the vtec switch, I think it is the regular plain oil pressure switch. Am I right?

I just want to verify, as many of the switches on rock auto look different. My wire harness most definitely has 2 wires coming to this sensor. I disconnected it and the connector was saturated with oil.

Wait - I think I was wrong... this is the coolant temp sensor... Now I'm curious why it was full of oil. It may be from a leak at the distributor?

Coolant sensor, o ring on the distributor is probably shot. Check that the coolant hoses below there are in good shape
