Under the oil filter housing?
I have an engine oil leak just below the oil filter housing.It seems to come from a sending unit.Would it be the oil pressure switch?

83 300SD has an electronic oil pressure sending unit, so the line to the instrument panel would not leak, unlike a 123, which has a direct sensor and can leak. The sending unit could leak. Other alternatives are the oil filter housing to engine block gasket, but I would favor the oil-filter housing to turbocharger oil supply line. They can get brittle and break. They are sort of a pain to replace.
