Exclamation URGENT-5.3l Oil pressure sensor location

I'm throwing code po521 which from what I have read usally means bad oil pressure sensor. I just need to know where this sensor is located and how hard it is to get to or if this is another issue that people know about that can be a easier fix.

I feel that it is on the left side of the motor somewhere but I cannot find it.

I think this is the right part Delco- D1846A

Long story short thanks for the video but I do not have access to videos where I am right now. I need just a general area or a picture/diagram if one is avalible.

Yes the picture is exellent. Thanks so much, so I am assuming all that I have to do is take the motor cover off and I should be able to get to it. Also rockauto seems to have the part the cheapest, should I buy it from them or just pick it up localy so I can get it replaced today?
