Sensor Question?

Replaced bottom gasket on Coolant Regulator Housing on my 86 S3.

A sensor receptacle (Male-3 Prong-White Plastic) fell out of a bracket, when I was disassembling fuel line, etc. to get at and remove Coolant Regulator. Have female sensor plug attached to wire, however, to my memory this female end terminated to just the male end, which was not joined to a wire to my recollection.

The male end (white plastic), was situated in the rear of this bracket. The bracket has a cutout for the male sensor receptacle. The bracket is to the left and behind the oil filler cap.

What does this sensor do? To no avail have I found it: looked under car, used compressed air under intakes, rinsed valley of engine, drained and flushed radiator in case went in upper radiator hose, looked around oil pan housing, etc.

Could not find on Parts Microfiche that I have and went to Porsche Dealer, where the PET did not illustrate as well.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Rob
