crank position sensor o-ring gasket - how to?

I will be putting my car in 'service mode' soon so as to replace my cooling fan. I suspect that my crank position sensor is leaking. What is involved in replacing that gasket? Access from above, or below? If it requires removal of the supercharger, I'll save it for another day; the leak isn't that bad. TIA.

Wrong one. That's the camshaft position sensor; I'm talking about the crankshaft position sensor.

When you have the fan out, you can see the sensor. Its held on by 1 bolt. Pretty self explanitory. Pull it out and replaced the oring on it... Then put it back in.
