another available oil pressure port?

Hello, Im looking to add some more gauges to my 7.3L... I read somewhere there are two oil supply/pressure ports on the rear drivers side of the block, near the oil filter? One of mine is already used on my banks turbo setup, and I an unable to find the other mystery port... Is there really another one hidden somewhere? I see something on the oil cooler/oil filter housing, but I think that may be the oil bypass valve?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes there's a port on the oil cooler that not many use cause that puts the line close to the hot exhaust header. But some use it. I'll see if I can find a picture of it somewhere

There is one on the left side of the engine, look on the shoulder where the adapter plate attaches. Just above the area of the Y pipe connection and manifold. You will see a NPT plug, DO NOT confuse it with the coolant drain plug on the block side below and forward.

Check the pic on my photo link of the oil system, it is an oil system gallery hole drilled and plugged.
