looks like its coming from the oil pressure switch near the dipstick (i think thats what it is lol circled it on the pic ne way), is this possible? also how much would it be to repair? i've dried it off with a rag n then ran my finger along it n its covered in oil again, also my oil pressure light will flash on n off whenever it feels like it.

theres not much comin out but on looking under the car theres oil allover everything!



any help will be appreciated, cheers
