Default oil pressure switch replacement on 2.7

Is there a write-up to replacing the oil pressure switch on these 2.7s. I have an '02 stratus and my oil light is coming on at idle and I smell oil under the hood and through the heater vents. From what I've been reading it's the oil pressure switch. I tried searching, but didn't come up with anything. I used a bottle of AMSOIL oil sludge cleaner on my last oil change but the light was coming back on after a few days and the smell has been getting worse lately.

I did mine not long after I posted this. It's in a tight space but is a simple fix. You do need a special Chrysler only socket though, I think I spent $10 or so on it from a parts store. I believe a 27mm seems like it would fit but it doesn't work. Very little or no oil will leak out while replacing it.
