Default Oil pressure gauge going crazy!!

So my oil pressure gauge keeps dying..going from 60psi or so down to zero and then the check gauge light pops on and then it goes back to normal. I assume i need to change the sensor. Whats involved with that? or better yet where is that sensor located? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help in advance.

it was annoying the crap out of me..getting to the sensor was pretty easy..the whole thing took maybe 30 minutes
