Default Oil leak??? Need help!

I have just installed PD superchargerand now i have a oil leak. What could be my problem? My oil pressure jumps up from a little bit over 40 to 60 if i acclerate hard. The damn oil keeps leaking on my headers and looks like my damn car's on fire! I figure its either my rear main seal or my oil pressure sending unit. I not real sure. Where is the oil pressure sending unit located and would that cause a oil leak. Is there any other things that it could be?
Need help!!

how is your pcv setup (catch can, metco breather)? the oil pressure sensor is on the back of the motor, I had a problem with the knock sensor o-ring, if your pcv is still hooked up, you are throwing pressure through your oil system which will cause your leak, first thing i'd do is check you pcv system. any questions pm me

thanks and goodluck
Gary
