oil level indicator - some cars had the wiring for it, but not the sensor.

How does it test the oil level at the top of the engine?

Yes, that is the connector for the oil level sensor. Porsche phased in the oil level sensing in MY 1987. Some cars had the sensor, but no wiring, some had the wiring, but no sensor.

See below
