Fairly common problem. It's just age. Not that hard to replace. Nor is it an expensive part.

There's 2 sensors on the vs, one for the gauge, the other is for the ecu
It'll be the single wired sensor.

As Pete posted,
Gauge sensor is below the thermostat housing on the front
Ecu sensor is at the back of the thermostat housing

Sorry no it is the shiny one so I would say the side of the thermostat housing lol.
I know because I put it in and took pic.

Diagnostician
Did you get the Sensor or the Sender? I think they were referring to the Sender and not the sensor. The Sender is the one with a single wire coming off it in the Thermo stat housing.
If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!
See if the diagram below is any help to you:
Real cars are steel cars.
Bad idea.
I know it wasn't hot, but not a good habit to get into.
A hot engine will instantly boil and throw boiling water out of the filler neck.
