OIL LEAK!!...need your professional input

Been seeing a few oil drops for the past 3 weeks since my last oil change. Put the car up on lifters an looked around pan. Oil was coming down the wire that goes into the back of the oil pan. Dried it off an started car for about 7 minutes. Turned off an got back under car. Saw the leak an it's slowly coming from the switch or sensor that's on the backside of the oil pan. I'm assuming that this is the Oil Pressure Gage???...If not, can someone tell me what this switch is, please!
It's a slow leak right now, only a couple of drops for a whole week of car sitting in driveway, but I know it's not going to go away, so while it's not bad I want to get this corrected.
Can you guys tell me an average of how much this part cost to replace. This is for a 2001 Maxima SE-Auto.
Thanks Everyone!

Never mind the post. I found my info! I haven't posted here in about 2 years but I found enough info in the sticky topics section.

I'm gone again. Keep the Faith...Long live the Maxima drivers!
