Default Leaking oil, need help.

I hit something on the way home from work. No clue what, heard a thunk under the car, looked, didnt see anything. Didnt think about it. Got home 2 miles later, looked under the car, oil was coming out. Took the underbody sheet out, and it appears to be coming from around some sort of sensor into the front oilpan. (I think its the oil pan, not sure at the moment)

What is that sensor, and how much is it?
This is NOT GOOD. I dont have time/money for this crap right now :<

Thanks

Please email a response also, I am really short for time.

The only thing the oil pan has attached to it is the Drain Plug...

Default OK, JBWeld to the rescue.

If you are looking on the cdrom manual for the car, it is incorrect. There IS a sensor on the bottom of the oil pan. It appears to be an oil level sensor. The sensor itself on my car is fine, but the pan is cracked. The leak which looked like it was coming from the sensor was coming from a hairline crack in the oil pan.

I dont have the part infront of me, but its a hella part. 3 pins on the connection. With a hole in a stem that goes up into the oil pan. (so oil has to be over a certain level to get in)
