No. This is attached to the block...underneath the waterpump
crank position sensor ????
EDIT: Finally found it after that crossed my mind, yes it is a crank sensor and that is now ordered also to be replaced with my knock sensor..

The o-ring fails far more often than the sensor. I’ve gone through 2 in the last 30K. Well, anytime the car is that far apart I change the o-ring prophylactically.

Yep, crank position sensor. Swap out the ring if you have never done that, as they will leak oil. You need to remove the sensor by removing the 1 nut and wiggling it out.
