Ok my oil drained out within 2 weeks. refilled today and noticed it's leaking right to the side behind the passeneger tire. Dripping out and I can see on the bar and over the cc joints
You guys did an amazing job helping me with the p0102 code so I don't doubt at all that you guys won't help me now..

I'm sure somebody had this leak before.

It's like kind of behind the engine. if your looking over the alternator straight down I can see the leak directly below on the ground

Oil pressure sensor is on the back of the engine in that area.

Your sure it's oil? Power steering pump is right below the alternator

Op should have linked to other thread about loosing oil.
But indy is correct buy a new oil pressure sensor and replace it.

Is your filter tight?

I'm thinking a picture would be helpful. Can't you trace the oil up to where it is leaking? If its too grimy to see where it is coming from, clean the area with engine cleaner and then you might actually be able to see where the leak is springing from...?

Good Luck.

yea it would be a good idea to post pics of the leak. so far, it sounds like the oil pressure sensor. You didn't double gasket the oil filter did you?

Would the oil pressure sensor cause it to lose oil?

If the sensor is leaking oil then yes. replace sensor. Also the sooner you post pics of the leak, the sooner you'll get help

Or you could pull a scotty and just plug the hole lol, all that sensor does is conveniently come on when your engine is "done".

I plugged mine as well, and by the looks of it I did it just in time, oil isnt supposed to be where it was.

above the oil filter, but on the back of the engine, before the axle. Horizontal sensor with the plug on the end of it, not hard to miss its really the only plug right there.
 
If it ends up not being the oil pressure sensor then the next likely culprit is your front crank seal....just pray it's not that.
