Oil Leak From unknown area?!?

So a few weeks ago I replaced some O rings in my spark plug tubes of my 91 Civic Wagon which I thought was the problem with my leak.. Turns out it is not, although that needed to be done... Anyways it is leaking somewhere above the oil filter, so removed it and found this....

I believe this is the Oil Pressure switch if Im wrong correct me.. Is it possible this could be the cause of the leak? I couldnt find any other spots that looked like they could be leaking, but its hard to see in there... The oil is leaking very fast like all 3.8 quarts in less then a week, I havent drove it since I found out how much it was leaking.. Also it only leaks when the car is running... Any advice would be very helpful.. Thank you very much...

    How did the filter seal look when you took it off?

    Not on this vehicle but on my previous honda I actually had the center of the oil pressure sender blow right out. Yours looks awfully oil soaked, but that could just be from pulling the filter if things got messy. I put it up on ramps and had it running and just crawled under with a flash light I was able to identify it quickly. That breather box there also looks a bit suspect.

    the seal looked good on the filter, but yes i should crawl under and take a look..
