Default Oil leak help

I have a big problem. I am leaking a lot of oil. I have a d15b7. The oil looked like it was coming from the oil pan because it was dripping off it to the exhaust. But I replaced it and then I realized it was still leaking. I think it is coming from somewhere around the oil filter. Help please.

It's not uncommon for the rubber seal of the oil filter to stick to the block and cause there to be two oil filter seals when the filter is replaced. This would cause a disturbing oil leak.

I thought that too. Could it possibly be the oil sensor?

Yes

Big leak should be easy to pinpoint.

Put the front end on stands. Clean oil from rear side of the block. Have a buddy start the *engine* while you pinpoint the leak site.
