An oil pressure sensor typically resembles a small cylindrical or rectangular component with a metal or plastic housing. It usually features an electrical connector on one end and a threaded fitting on the other for attachment to the engine. The sensor may also have a small port or opening for oil to enter, allowing it to measure the pressure accurately. The size and shape can vary depending on the vehicle model and manufacturer.

No, a defective oil pressure sensor will not harm the engine as long as the oil pressure is what it should be. However, how do you know what the pressure is if the sensor is bad. Replace the sensor so that you can receive a warning if the oil pressure drops below what is optimum.
The 1995 Nissan Pathfinder oil pressure sensor can be found next to the oil filter. The oil pressure sensor measures the oil pressure in the engine.

The oil pressure sensor sends a reading to the gauge so you can moniter the engine's oil pressure. No oil pressure means the engine is in big trouble.
Oil filter? Oil pressure sensor?
look where your oil filter spins on it will be next to it it screws in and has a wire pluged on it.
The oil pressure sensor is on the right hand side(looking from front of car) of the oil pan, or a little higher than the oil pan. It is a sensor plug that looks like it is plugged onto the engine itself.
The oil pressure sensor is on the front of the engine, near the oil filter.
I saw on another forum that the oil pressure sensor is under the oil filter.
The oil pressure sensor is on the oil cooler, under the intake manifold.
