John,

Could it be leaking from the gray oil pressure sender? I just had this problem and also thought it could be from the seal. Use an engine cleaner to clean the residual oil from the engine, let it dry, run the engine for a bit and look for the leak. I found that oil collected left of the oil pressure sender in a depression on the engine.

Good luck,

Harold
