Lower block oil leak: help [solved]

I will attach a photo of where I have a bad leak. When you start the car it starts to stream down until empty. I replace the oil pressure sensor and cleaned that up as it was backed out and leaking down to the same area helping idea the actual cause. 1.8L lx Civic 13' thank you in advance.

Hey! Yes I did. So the switch will actually leak through itself and you need to replace the switch. I used Honda's thread locker and torqued to spec. But yes, I resealed it as well. Full oil tank. Emptied out again. That's how I learned. New switch and you should be good
