Default Oil leak!

I've got a 2001 5.9 diesel with 261,000 miles on it.
3 weeks ago it started leaking oil on the drivers side of the engine.
It appears to be just above the mounting bracket for the injection pump.
Is it possible that its the oil pressure switch that's leaking?
Any idea's?

It could be, it's kind of a Chrysler thing to leak from. I'm not sure about on the 24v but the 12v have an oil supply line there. There's always the vacuum pump, those tend to leak as well.
