95 LeSabre Oil leak on pass side above oil filter...

Hi everyone. I'm new here and have been doing some searching and I just come up with the right information. I have a 1995 LeSabre with the 3800 engine. I have some oil leaks and I am in the process of resealing them. I have done the oil pan gasket and the valve cover gaskets so far. Now my biggest oil leak is on the passenger side of the engine. When the car is idling I have a drip about every 2 seconds. It seams to be coming above the oil filter right by the corner of the oil pan and above that somewhere. I don't know if there is a sensor there or possibly something else leaking that I'm missing. Thanks for any and all help.


Thanks AJ

Welcome to AF! There is an oil pressure switch located in that area. See below:

Do you know if that is a common area for the 3800 to leak at the rate it is leaking? And should I get a new sensor or did the one on the car just get loose and needs tightening

Thank AJ
