Drove over high part of drive-way curb and scraped under car near wheel, oil dripping

First, does anyone have a diagram of the bottom of our cars so i can pin-point it for you.

EDIT: Took this from Cardomain. NUMBERS 1 and 2 show slow dripping of oil. Pictures zoom in.






Second, It scrapped the bottom of my car, taking off the molding/mud shield tha covers oil pan. Oil pan is fine, a little scraped but the 2 bolts that are attached to the thing that holds the wheel are slowly dripping oil

Any idea what that is?

uh ohs. make sure that the oil pan is ONLY just scraped. check all around the pan for leaks. just really get under there and take a more thorough look. im sure you will find the problem.

I would first check the oil filter If It's loose tighten it up and than check the timming chain area and the rear main seals for oil leaks. I would say It's the oil pressure sender switch that's leaking.
