Default oil pressure sensor -oil leak??

I have a 2004 Accord (EX 4 cyl) which runs great. Had no major issues (except brake judder) under warranty. Now at 40 K miles showing an slight oil leak. It is near or above the oil filter. I thought it was becos of dealer not tightening oil filter properly. Got that checked out.

Dealer says it could be oil pressure sensor or some solenoid but not loose oil filter !!

I don't think this is common for Honda. Any way what you guys think ? Any body had similar issue? How much could be bill (approximate)? I am planning to get it done at the dealer. He is planning to do the dye test to find the exact source of the leak.

I am DIY guy for small things. But with 10 degree weather and tight access to oil pressure sensor it is not worth it.

I am really looking for your opinion.

The first thing to do is find out what is leaking, it could be a number of things.

I have a 2003 Accord with 64,000 miles. The oil pressure sensor just went off the other day. When I checked the oil, less than 1 Quart! I filled the engine with more oil and my mechanic is checking it out Monday. I will let you know if he find anything.

One other thing...no oil in my drive way. I think its burning it.

I had a similar problem with my 93 Del Sol, no leaks but oil was slowly disappearing. In that case the O-rings were worn(143,000 miles).
