Oil pressure sender location?

Hey guys,
After doing a few hard pulls with the car today I started receiving a low engine oil pressure alert.  At first I did what all of us would do and turn the car off to check everything out.  I had the right amount of oil etc. and the engine was not overly hot so I decided to see if there was a code and there was not.  So I started it back up and the light was not on and at idle there was not any audible knocks etc.  I watched my temp and it didn't go above 186* (it's over 100* outside right now).  At this point I figured its a fluke and decided to start driving again.  Everything was fine until I started to come to a stop.  The light came back on again.  I didn't turn the car off, just listened and watched the temp.  Nothing.  I decided to go again and as soon as I took off the light went off.  It did this multiple times on the way home so I'm pretty sure its a harness issue.

So... here's my question.  Where is the sensor located?

From the diagram on Fordparts.com, looks like it is in the vicinity of where the oil filter assembly attaches to the block.  Maybe the FSM or Chilton's will have a better illustration.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

That at least gives me an area to look. Thanks

IIRC the oil pressure sender is on the front/bumper side of the block slightly above the oil filter assembly towards the passenger side by the back of the alternator.  You can probably see it using a flashlight from above.
