Can anyone tell me what this is please?!

hi all,

Im due to travel to newcastle this weekend coming up but when in garage this weekend i spotted a leak from the engine after doing a 150mile round trip that day. I got told its the Oil Pressure Switch and its weeping but when enquiring somewhere to get one they said from the pictures it isnt the oil pressure switch? :/

Anyone know what it is please as i need it fixing urgently if i am to travel to newcastle as dont want my car breaking down on me.

Sorry that the pictures arnt the best as was quick whilst the car was up on ramp to stay out the way of them.

Would it come out fast if the car was going at a high speed for quite a while.. for example.. 80mph for 45min-1hour? like the oil wasnt dripping off from everywhere quickly it wasnt dripping at all when it was up on the ramp? and the oil light hasnt came on yet?

higher engine speed = higher oil pressure therefore if you have a leak = bad

get it sorted ASAP
