Default oil pressure gauge

Have a 2010 and would like to mount a mechanical oil pressure gauge. Is there a convenient 1/8" NPT port location on the engine for the tubing?

I have oil and water temp on mine. I just undid the facotry sender and plugged it in. This will of coarse make the factory idiot needle not work. I just grounded the wire so the gauge shows normal. Its a useless gauge to begin with. The sender on the 4.0 ohv is down under the pwr. steering pump. Dont know about other engines
