I went to replace my sway bar links and noticed an oil leak. It looks like it's leaking near the oil filter/ oil pressure sensor. It is just around that area. Any ideas?

I changed about a month ago. When I first seen it, I done another oil change and replaced the filter. I cleaned everything off and sprayed the area with degreaser. And it's doing it again.
I thought at first it was the sensor because oil pressure bottomed out a couple of times. I cleaned the contacts due to oil in plug and sensor connectors. No pressure drop since

I thought it could be coming from the sensor. It has the rubber grommet which should prevent oil/water going in. When I unplugged it there was oil in it. So that could explain it
Our oil pressure sensors are known to commonly have oil seep into them and cause a failure, sometimes it can be cleaned and it functions normally, other times no
It's not the rear main I'm positive of. I think Mounce called it. Replaced the sensor and no more leaks!
