Not sure where this plug goes?

Hello. Long time reader and first time poster.

About a year ago I purchased a 2012 Countryman S and I love driving it. Anyways it developed an oil leak and determined it was the oil filter housing.

I replaced the gaskets in the oil filter housing and I am in the process of putting it back together. However, there is one plug I am not sure where it goes.

There are 4 plugs on the wire loom; one goes to the O2 sensor(blue plug), one goes to the aux water pump, one goes to the turbo, and then there is a yellow plug with light blue, yellow and white wires.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Found it

I pulled the oil filter housing back out and found where the plug goes. With the housing installed, it was difficult to see it and looking around at different websites and watching videos I couldn't find a good resource on these plugs.
Anyways, below is where this loom goes for future reference.


The one circled one in red was the one I couldn't find or see.



This is the wire loom with the 4 wires. Blue circled goes to aux water pump. Red goes to sensor by oil filter and Green goes by the turbo.

People like you are the best. Thanks for posting the solution, I couldn't find this anywhere for my N18 / R56.
