    yea it would be a good idea to post pics of the leak. so far, it sounds like the oil pressure sensor. You didn't double gasket the oil filter did you?

    Your sure it's oil? Power steering pump is right below the alternator

    But indy is correct buy a new oil pressure sensor and replace it.

    Would the oil pressure sensor cause it to lose oil?

    I'm thinking a picture would be helpful. Can't you trace the oil up to where it is leaking? If its too grimy to see where it is coming from, clean the area with engine cleaner and then you might actually be able to see where the leak is springing from...?

    Good Luck.
    Thanks oil filter is on tight. I was losing oil before I changed the oil and filter. I will post pics soon.
