What sensor did I break?

Changing an idler pulley today and the wrench hit a sensor just above the oil filter (96 3.8). The sensor broke in half and oil came out. What sensor did I just break???

Thanks,
Doug

Oil pressure sensor. Can grab one at most any auto parts store for cheap. I have back luck snapping the damn things off too.

Be careful on those things. I bought a dud one that blew the cover off and lost a quart of oil.
