Oil leak
Oil leak Well the car is nice and all, but its leaking while running only. Its towards the rear of the block, on the passengers side. I think its the oil pressure sending unit, but I can't be 100%.
Its going on the lift Thursday. Any suggestions on what else to look for?

This kind of thing can't be diagnosed over the internet very easily 
Not much to be done except examine the suspect components in the area the leak is coming from...
Here's a tip from GM that you could try:
1. Completely clean the entire engine and surrounding components.
2. Apply an aerosol-type powder, baby powder, foot powder, etc., to the suspected area.
3. Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal operating temperature and at varying speeds.
4. Identify the type of fluid, and the approximate location of the leak, from the discolorations in the powder surface.
