Receiving an occasional intermittent "no oil pressure" message. Purchased a new oil sending unit for $22.00, but I do not know where it is located on engine to replace. Please help. Thanks

I am assuming you checked the oil level and it was full? If that is ok then your most likely problem is an internal oil leak from the oil pick up tube seals. Quick way to find out if it is while the vehicle is running and light comes on, pull the oil dipstick out. If the oil has lots of foam and bubbles then that is your problem and not the sending unit. Let us know what you find.
