Default 1994 Accord Oil Leak [w/pictures]

Hey guys! So my accord just started leaking oil this week. It's a 1994 Accord LX, 5 speed, 141k miles. I have a picture of where the oil is leaking from... it is right under the oil filter in that little circle hole thing [sorry - no idea what it's called]. Anyone help me figure out why? Thanks in advance!

That is the hole for where the oil pressure sensor goes. I'd take the bolt out and put some "teflon tape" aka thread sealant on it and see if it helps.

Thanks for the reply! So I tightened that screw just to make sure that wasn't the case, and I took off the oil filter and re-tightened it so it wasn't those two. I then tried looking at the oil sensor on top of the oil filter and sure enough it was leaking oil. Any idea how to remedy that?

Means you need a new oil pressure sensor. About $20 if I remember right.
