yea thats the only oddity i found. sorry about the pics. thanks for the responses guys.

in case anyone was interested in storytelling:
after i ran over the island awhile back, everything was fine; the car wasn't misalligned and i didn't notice any handling change so i thought it was fine. then i this rattle noise appeared as if something was loose and it came from my front left. I changed my shocks and struts while i was at it but that rattle noise was still there. I thought it was brake caliper free play or something and i checked out the rotors and calipers but they were secured. Today i was checking out the fuel filter and saw that bolt loose and my problem was solved haha.

Looks like the condenser for your oil pressure circuit is floating free.
Least I think that's what it is...
