Oil leak

I have oil leaking out of the inside of this sensor. Anyone else have this happen?

Not too common, but I have seen it before. Just replace it.

Vtec solenoid electrical harness connection. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem like your only leak but that might just be the photo angle.

Yeah. that is the oil pressure sensor. I replaced it and you know what? The S actually drove more smoother at low speeds in low gears. I would get hesitations before with stalling out at times, and that completely eliminate that. Try replacing it and let us know.
