I'm trying to find the location on the top of the motor and how to do it myself.

The crankshaft sensor is at the front of the engine down low next to the crankshaft front snout. You might as well do the timing belt if it has not been done already, if you need help with that, please start a new thread for the timing belt. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
