broke sensor what sensor is this?

I was installing my engine after some mods and the sensor at the rear of the engine valley broke off. the sensor did have a black plug hole about 1 1/2" tall but that broke off. it screws strait down and sits next to another plug. the plug that goes into the broke one is bright green. car is 98 Z28. it can be seen in this pic it is next to the teal blue looking plug and is pluged in. http://ls1howto.com/howto/geniii/ls6...er_removed.jpg

Oil pressure sender. You shouldn't have a hard time finding a replacement.

I can't seem to get a wrench or socket or anything on it to loosen it appers as the valley cover removed would make it possible. any other way?
