while that is all very vague
ima guessing its next to the oil pressure sender,, and is in fact a condensor/cap to attenuate the oil pressure signal
( slow it down and leak away any system RFI )

its usually a little black square thing that bolts to the gearbox on NA and to the firewall on turbo's,, near the oil pressure sender

I have the same plug disconnected, and my condenser is missing as well. Never had any issue with the gauge, so I haven't bothered with it.
