There is a bracket that mounts under the oil filter, that connects the block to the transmission. It is very close to the motor mounts. Could be that.

No, my motor is in the car, that extra bracket I dont need, and it's gotta be something special. Big whole near my oil filter. Looks like its threaded.

It comes off the block.

if its directly to the right of the oil filter, then its the oil pressure sending unit.

Lol.. same thing happened to me. I found a bolt sitting in a groove of my intake. It looks like an intake bolt but I'd never know what its for since I swapped so much crap out (including bolts from the original CA18DE engine) I don't know what bolt is what =p

i need a pic from the underside. I believe its the OP sending unit. However, when I start it, nothing squirts out. I thought it should if thats what it was. it should have made a mess.

green thing is knock sensor, the whitish /bluish tipped one bottom right of the oil filter mount is the oil pressure sender.

my oil cooler is from the UK.

Do you mean the elbow in the first pic? that is somehow part of the crankcase ventilation system..
