It'd be swell if it was just the oil pressure sender fitting leaking...but it's probably not.

Has the Upper Oil Pan ever been serviced? My '98's never has, and its UOP leaks like a champ...

That's where mine is leaking. Is the oil dripping around the oil filter and crankshaft sensor?

Are you sure that's not your front main seal? It's hard to tell with all the oil blowing everywhere as we drive

But did you change them properly, put RTV in the corners per the FSM, and torque everything to spec and in the correct sequence?
