    I'm aware, sorry, what I meant was what are those three plugs for and could oil seep out of them?
    If the oil isn't coming from there then possibly the oil cooler on the right is leaking onto those plugs?

    I have given both a decent clean so that I can see next where the oil comes from.

      UPDATE:

      Found the source of the leak. It's coming from the black plug as pictured. Hopefully will be able to fix easily.

        Yeah, that's the oil pressure sender.

          Can the plugs be disconnected temporarily? I removed them to get better access but need to go drive get the correct socket in order to tighten it.

            Can't hurt to leave them on, otherwise the dash will light up like a Christmas tree.

              Turning the key only had the oil Christmas light come on.
              It's just a PITA to work down there so rather put them back on after I've tightened the things because I will have to disconnect them again to tighten them.
              Deep socket and small ratchet looks like the best way to do this with the limited space.

              UPDATE: All I need is a new pressure sensor and I'm good to go. Easy.

                Not so easy, I can't get enough torque to remove it.
                Do I really need to remove the whole front end so that I can get to this thing?
                At this point, getting some teflon tape and wrapping it around will be easier.
