Oil pressure sensor removal. WTF?

I'm not sure what type of 2.2 engine I have, but it's in a 2006 LS and the sensor is under the intake manifold and above the starter. The thing is leaking oil from the wiring harness at a disturbing rate. My question is, how do you remove the thing? Everything seems to be in the way. Anyone with the answer would help me out something serious. I'm tired of adding oil and cleaning the crap up.

Update

I had no idea there was such a thing as an oil pressure sensor socket. I went about it the hard way, cussing the designer of the engine the whole time. Had to remove the starter and cleaned it. I don't know how it was still working. Couldn't get a new sensor so I took an extra seat belt bolt and cut it in half. Same size and threads. I used it in place of the sensor and used the original copper washer from the sensor to get a good seal. No leaks. I'll get a sensor eventually. Probably at next oil change. But in a pinch the bolt works. Also no light on the dash with the sensor unhooked. I appreciate the info though. With the right tools this may have been simpler, but I love a challenge.
