could be from the front or rear mail seal. If you can't see for sure where it leaks, get a bottle of UV dye and pour it in the oil. Get the car on stands and run it for a little while. Then kill the lights so its a bit dark in the garage and shine a black light around. The dye will brightly shine where the leak is coming from. The dye is cheap, and a black light bulb isn't too hard to find either.

I'd put my money on the oil pressure sender leaking. You would have to get the car in the air running and examine it from below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
