Oil pressure sensor broken?

Basically ever since my last oil change, my oil light has been on 24/7. My mechanic told me that the oil pressure sensor is broken and needs to be replaced and costs couple hundred dollars to fix? Is this the right price or am I missing something? Where can I buy this oil pressure sensor ? Been googling all day and haven't found a decently new one to replace.

It's 30 bucks at the dealer. 15 at any auto parts store. Takes 10 min to change. Do a search this has been discussed countless times. Requires a special socket to take it off. Socket cost about 10 bucks.

Thanks for the reply. I honestly can't find the right thread where to buy these parts and how-tos if someone can link that would be awesome. I drive an 03 evo 8 if that applies.
