Took me a while to track down the oil leak. It was spraying the frame and traveling along the inside then dripping.
Took some cardboard, put it under the area suspected and along the frame. I had suspected it was the threads near the block.
Nope, it was the "new" oil pressure switch. Leaking out where the tabs exited the plastic only when the pressure got about 50psi.
A new switch under warranty, leak gone.

No, no they don't. The part was covered under a 60 day warranty. When they gave me the replacement switch you could tell the plastic was a lot thicker and the whole unit was a little heftier.
Took a 45 mile trip the other day, zero leaks!
