Oil leaking

Well the search for the leaking oil has lead to somewhere around the oil pressure switch and underneath the oil filter ne suggestions of how to check where it is coming from and how to replace / fix the problem? the oil only leaks after the car has been run doesn't leak while the car is off.. thank you

You can also get some degreaser cleaner, clean the area of all oil residue... then take the car out around the block once or twice and then see where the oil is coming from...

How much oil is dropping on the ground? A drip or two, or a puddle?

I just did this to my 84 gs. between the block and the oil cooler you have an adapter plate. where it meets there are two o rings on each side{4}total. disconect the adapter plate first then replace the o rings.you can get them cheap at any auto parts store.make sure you use a silocone sealant for security. don't fill the holes in the cooler or adapter, and let it sit awhile to seal.
