Please help me identify this leaking part and how to fix it, as it seems almost impossible to get to from under the car.
The leak seems to come from a big nut looking part right above the oil sender on the passenger side of motor.

Thanks!
The more i look at this, the more i think its not oil sipping down...
Probably black sealant inside the knock sensor melted and leaked down, if it was oil, the stream would not be as neat.
Now i need to fix my other leaks... (cap on exhaust side rear engine, and front main seal).
I really hope my oil pan is not leaking, but its so wet under the engine, i cant really pin point the source of leaks. but i know for a fact the rear cap is leaking and probably front main and maybe cam seals.
