Please I am in great need of some assistance. Does anyone know where the crankshaft sensor is located on a 92 Chevy Lumina Euro?

Aww man!! I had to replace mine a few weeks ago. It's between the oil pan and the engine block. If you jack the car up on the passenger side and remove the front wheel on that side, you should be able to slide up under the car and see it.
It's on the back end of the engine. What you should do is get your new sensor first and look at it so you will know what you are looking for. Go to the back of the oil pan and look up at the engine. You should see the end of the sensor between the oil pan and the engine.
I will tell you this, though, it's in a tight spot. You can't just change it out and put the new one in. Disconnect the electrical connector that goes to the sensor first. Also, you're going to need a fairly long 8mm wrench to get to the screw that holds it in place. Then, you're going to give the sensor probably a quarter of a turn to remove it from the engine.
I'm going to wish you all the best in putting this in. I know I caught hell putting mine in. You might be able to get it with no problem.
