Oil sensor Level question

Anyone have a good oil level sensor laying around. I have a question about the connector that connect to the wire harness. Does the connector only have 1 prong at the end of it??

I know mine is broken also. I had a leaking turbo oil return line and ran out off oil one night.

Luckily I saw the oil pressure drop, shut down the car, and coasted right into a PeP Boys parking lot. Soooooooooooooooooooooo Lucky!!

I wasn't so lucky and fried the side seals on the front rotor and spun a bearing and fried my e-shaft.
