It appears to be leaking on the front side of the canister, maybe the oil pressure switch?

Why wait until tomorrow when you can do it today.............

Looks like the oil pressure sender unit is definitely sweating, but is it the main culprit? I'm not sure that the sweating I'm seeing constitutes all the drips on the floor. Wish me luck!!
