I need to replace my CMP sensor. I keep hearing by the coolant reservoir on the TOP RH side of the motor but I can't find it there. Can someone please show me a diagram and possibly tell me what I have to remove or move around to even get to or see it?

I'm unable to provide a drawing, only a verbal description. On the rear bank cylinder head(closest to the firewall), at the front(passenger side). Between the strut tower and engine, if you look down, there is a connector(large purple wire and smaller wire) that comes out from under the intake and runs down the front of the cam cover. Below this connector you will see a two wire sensor bolted to the front of the head, that is the cam sensor. It is the only sensor bolted to a head on the front of the engine.
