Default Need help identifing bad oil pressure sending unit(pics)

I've been noticing a oil leak after driving my car the past few weeks, think I've traced it back to the oil pressure sending unit. What do you guys think? Looks like fresh oil from the pics, sorry they're pretty shitty..hard to even get a phone back there.

I honestly can not tell from the pics. The oil pressure sending unit has been a common issue for seeping/leaking. If the oil appears to be leaking from around the top of the bellhousing, there is a good chance it is the OPSU.

You can go to Harbor Freight (or similar place) and pick up a $1.99 12-24" flexible inspection mirror that may help you trace this down as well.
