There are two crankshaft sensors for this engine. One is located behind the engine crankshaft pulley, or harmonic balancer. The second is located in the engine block on the rear center location of the engine.
Each provides a seperate signal to the onboard computer. One is 7X per revolution and the other is 24X per revolution.
I hope this answers your question. That's were they are and what they do.

Where is the crank position sensor located on a 1995 Geo Metro 1.3 liter 4 cylinder engine

I believe you will have a crank sensor behind the main crankshaft pulley on the oil pan flange. There is also a crank angle sensor in the bottom of the distributor.

Where is the crankshaft sensor located ?

The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the oil pan facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal plate. It detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
After replacement, ECM reprogramming is required.
This vehicle may be subject to voluntary recall, CAMPAIGN I.D. # R0606, that involves the crankshaft position sensor:

Quote: Nissan has determined that on some 2003 - 2004 Altima and Sentra vehicles with the 2.5 liter engine the operation of the crank angle sensor is significantly affected by variations in temperature that occur due to the unique location of the sensor in the engine. Under certain driving conditions, these variations in temperature can be large enough to cause a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the interruption in the signal from the sensor is so brief that the Electronic Control Module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at low speed.
