LIM Leak update w pic!!

Okay so I finally went and got my camaro and drove it to my gfs house. When I got there the car was smokin pretty bad and the oil pressure had began to drop. I took a pic of where I could see some oil on the exaust pipe right under that thing that I circled and altough it was smoking worse on that side it was smoking on both thats just the only spot where I could spot oil If the oil is right where could it still be the LIM. When I stick my hand back behind the LIM I can feel traces of oil and that black oily grease stuff. So im thinkin it prob is my LIM another reason I do believe its the LIM is because after a while I can hear squeeking between where my engine and tranny meet so im assuming the oil is dripping down the back of the engine and into where the tranny and the engine meets.

Now when I put the gaskets on the LIM i put the blue gasket maker on both sides. So when I take it off ima just roll the blue off and put the gasket back on since they aren't bad anyway, and put the black in the valleys n take that blue crap off. Then I should be good to go, but here is the pic though of where I saw some oil what could there be any other possibilities beside the LIM from where you guys see the oil at? Here is the pic

That's a 3.4 engine bay right? If so I think that thing you circled is the oil pressure sending unit. Maybe it's loose? I can't really tell where the oil leak is from the pic, but if that's loose your oil pressure gauge would probably read low too.

If its coming from the oil sending unit it would smoke on both sides? So it squeeking between the engine n tranny? and oil in that area I showed you... does that fit all the descrptions of the oil sending unit?
