Default bad oil leak passenger rear of engine

I have a 2003 accord lx with a 2.4 it leaks oil bad dripping by the passenger side tire. I need help identifying the part to get. On the back of engine pass side where the oil sender is plugged in is where it is leaking from. What is that piece called so I can order the gasket for it? Any help appreciated.

If it is the sending unit, you need to replace it. It is part #12 in the diagram. I think that you put a light coat of liquid gasket on the threads to seal it. I know on older accords the leak as through this part and not the seal, so I will assume you have the same problem.

OK thank you for letting me know that. I will check that out it is hard to see I will try to pull it apart tonight if I find time. I just seen it was drippind off of the housing that the sender is screwed in to that bolts to the engine. I just assumed it was leaking from that. It is not drivable it loses a quart every 15 mins. I will let you know what I find out.
