Think I screwed up while changing oil pressure sensor

Went to replace oil pressure sensor due to high reading on gauge. I broke this piece thinking it was the sensor I was changing. It started draining what looks like at or power steering fluid. The picture shows the spot next to the pulleys on the passenger side. Any thoughts?

I think I have narrowed it down to power steering pressure switch. Can't believe I broke the electrical connector. I'll look online for a replacement. Auto parts stores want 130-150. I shudder to think what the dealer wants.

Thanks SMJ. Just ordered it for 80.98 and free shipping. Do you know where the oil pressure sensor mounts? I don't want to mistake some other part for it again.

It's on the right side (passenger side) of the engine block toward the front. You can see it through the passenger front wheel well opening. I'm hoping you got the oil pressure switch from Nissan, as there have been a lot of problems with the aftermarket switches reported.
