2000 Toyota Camry - Oil Leaking	Sign In

So I've noticed oil around my car the past week, I finally opened up the hood to take a look, I'm a big time novice so I don't have much clue what I'm looking at most of the time, but I was able to identify where the leak is coming from. I'm wondering if I can fix this myself or if I should just take it to a mechanic.

Here are photos of the leaking area in question.

It only appears to leak when the car is running, it's a fairly steady drip, maybe a drop every 2-3 seconds. Any help would be appreciated.

Oil pressure switch is leaking is what you have circled. Pull the plug and see if the switch connector cavity is full of oil.

I don't know your abilities, but even for a novice that isn't hard to change.

I advise you not to drive it this way. You can lose a lot of oil in a short span with a leak like that and that could cost you a motor.
