What's that sensor ?

Hi team,
Please tell me what is the pictured yellow sensor (part number if possible) ? It's above oil sump on M120 V12 engine block. It leaks oil so I would like to replace it.
thanks

That looks like an engine oil level sensor! The 'O' ring seal has turn bad. Usually installed from inside out, meaning the oil sump must be dropped. Notice the "C" clip retaining the sensor? Sorry, no access to parts catalogue. Can always look up other online parts store. Hope it helps.
