Default can anyone tell me what this is

because theres oil in it and ive heard the crystal inside of it makes sure no oil comes in the sensor and when it goes bad youll see oil in the sensor... oh yea notice the oil to the right of it..

I would pull it out and get a new O-ring to seal off the oil leak

it must be a sensor for something else if yer still showin oil pressure

maybe is it water temp?

Its your ICP sensor... So there is no oil in the connecton? Might pull it and check the O ring, but if there is oil in the plug the sensor is done. Its what tells the PCM how much ICP is in the rail.

Once theres oil in that sensor its done and you need to replace it. They even have a pig tail wiring kit to replace the electric plug part of it as well if you got oil up in the wiring harness. Warning its not cheap I think dealer cost for me was around 160.00.
