I tried replying to my own post 3 times with this question and pic but it never shows up....dont get it...maybe it will later?
My friend says my oil leak is from a bolt with wires in it above the oil sending unit...on this pic of an 85 it shows a bolt only there...mine is an 86...I got an answer from another member who says its another oil pressure sensor....Which one is on top on the 86...the oil pressure guage...or the oil pressure switch? or does anything supposed to go there at all?

This is what it looks like on my 84:

The sensor in the picture is the oil temp, used only for the oil temp gauge.

That is just a GND wire, no sensor.
