Rear Main Seal or Oil pressure sending unit?

Yup. That's probably where all your oil is coming from. The part is $15 or it'll cost about $30 to hook up an actual gauge which is what I did. Just changing the part should only take 30 mins max. Took a little longer for me because I had to run lines and find a spot for the gauge.

You just have to unplug the wire harness from it, then unscrew it out? I'm guessing I have to do this from underneath the car.. which means I'd have to remove the cross member.
Also Mopar or go with aftermarket?

There's a special socket you can get from Autozone. Unplug the connector and cover it so nothing gets inside. You can reach it from over the valve cover or standing by the driver's side fender. Not once did I go under the car. Let me see if I did a write up on it or not.

I believe the socket is a 1 1/6" oil pressure switch socket.
I'd really appreciate it if you posted a write up. Especially the size of the socket I'll need in order to remove the switch.

It'll give you some more room, plus you always at least disconnect the battery before changing any sensor. I looked and didn't post a write up. It isn't too hard though.

For the switch. Is aftermarket fine... or since it's a sensor, I should go with mopar?
Mopar part#: 05149098AA
Or is that not the right one?

Ok. Is my assumption correct? 1 1/6" socket? I think I can actually do this without any problems with just the battery out of the way. And knowing Dodge, there's a little clip/lock on the sides of the socket that I'll have to press on in order to unlock the socket from the switch.
