Default '93 Accord Oil Leak

I noticed a slight oil drip around the filter area but it looks like the leak is coming from above the filter. Is the oil pressure switch located there and if so, could this be the source of my leak?

go here... if your car has #22, which is between the engine block and the oil filter with 2 lines comming out of it, it could be the small O ring between the adapter and the block. My mothers old car (91 SE) had that problem, although it was a little more than just a small leak.

If it ends up being that O ring, its easy to change. Drain the oil from the motor... spin off the filter, and you'll see the threaded nipple that the filter spins on to. You'll need a fairly large socket, and take the nipple right out... the adapter will then be seperate from the motor... remove the old O ring and place the new one in the channel. Then just reverse the process.
