2011 S N18 Engine: Oil Sensor short to ground

Has anyone had this error and fixed it? It throws the engine into limp mode. I have been told the wire runs down the back side of the engine and then goes into the block and the sensor is inside the engine on the oil pump.

there's a service bulletin for a leak in the oil pressure solenoid inside the oil pan, could that be it? See the FAQ for a link to where to look up the TSBs.
