Automatic oil level gauge not working

I have a 1999 996 and I noticed over the last few days the oil level gauge - the digital gauge married to the clock is showing zero oil level and flashing for a few seconds then it disappears.

My oil level is right below the "max" line on the dipstick, and my oil pressure is spot on. If I am diagnosing this correctly it's the oil level sensor under the left intake manifold?



The Pelican tech article is a bit confusing to me with the wording. It neglects to specify if this is on the right or left side, but only that the knock sensors exist on both sides. If this is the case then I need to remove the passenger side intake runners to change this part? And if so, what else should I replace while I'm in there?
