You're welcome.
Mine is leaking too. Goes in for new valve cover gaskets as soon as I 'make the call'.

That is your oil pressure switch for the idiot light on the dash as well as the cutoff for the fuel pump.

There is a gasket that goes in there. It cost 4 bucks. Next time you change the oil, just spend the extra time and replace it also.
