Default Oil Leak Problem on Protege 2000 1.6

Hi everyone,

My first post on the forum is because of a problem I have with my Protege 1.6l 2000.

I'm leaking oil under my Car and its coming from my oil pan, I'm pretty sure it might be the gasket that is leaking although I might be wrong from lack of knowledge. Also its leaking from, what I think might be a sensor right above my oil filter. Here are a couple of Pictures.

I have in mind that I might have to replace the oil pan / gaskets to fix the problem , and im allright with that. I would like to have some imput and tips on the whole situation ! I want to make sure It is actually the gasket before getting into this job !

Thanks a bunch !

Looks like it. That first image looks like the oil pressure sending unit. Over time/miles the bolts tend to loosen a little causing this issue.
