Its on the front, drivers side right by the oil filter.Chances are its not the sending unit although its a good idea to rule that out first. Usually a fluctuation like that is caused by gritty carbon-like stuff in the oil pan. The good news is if it doesn't go on for a long time you can clean the pan out and it doesn't usually damage anything.
