Oil leek.. possible causes?
I noticed I have an oil leek when my car is parked for a while. Its under the car near the middle of the passenger side. Any ideas what it could be and how to fix it. Thanks, David.

The Oil pressure sender unit is located on the back side of the oil pan, right above the drain bolt. You'll see a couple wires coming out of it.
