If the leak is coming higher then the oil pressure switch and the filter is tight try to replace the oil cooler o-ring. It is the big o-ring that is between the block and the part where the oil filter srews on. I had the same problem on mine and I have seen it on many others.

Or that the old filter o-ring came off with the old filter and didn't get stuck on.

Oil pressure sensor. Mine did the same thing, got it for like $35 from Honda. Is easy to replace, don't let the shop do it. Dealership quoted me $95 dollars. Took me 15 minutes from jack to drop, just make sure you wrap plenty of teflon tape on the threads and don't get any tape on the front of the sensor.

licke everyone said ususally this is the oring that leaks behind the oil cooler. either that or the oil filter is leaking. you need to feel around with you hand and see if there is oil up their. or wipe erything clean start the car and let the oil warm up and then let it sit so the oil will just drip strait down. if the oil cooler is leaking you can find out this way
