oil pressure sender?? Oil filter??
I had an oil filter burst on me one time when i was driving on the freeway. It had been dented (unknown to me) when i changed intake manifolds. The little dents turned to cracks in the winter after several hot-cold cycles....pictures would really help

Yeah, first thing to check is if your oil filter is tightened down. I've seen shops leave them just hanging there.

the oil filter is good brand new and tight, the leak looks like its coming from the timing cover...maybe cam seal there is so much oil though i cannot tell.

Could be a cam seal. Tracing oil leaks can be deveiving as oil will flow to the lowest possible point before dripping so it may look like it's comming from one place when it's not.
