There are two crankshaft position sensors on this engine: one at the front of the engine by the crank pulley, and the other at the flywheel area. One sensor detects the 1 degree signal of the sensor, and the other the 120 degree "top dead center"position. Honestly, though, if you're chasing a code, you might be wasting time and money. It may not be a faulty sensor you are dealing with. Furthermore, if you have a sensor connector full of oil, you could absolutely have an connector or wiring issue: electricity doesn't appreciate oil! Good luck.
