it is still running from up near the housing but it is not cracked. I was thinking seals, and pressure switch but I am not sure. the oil is dripping from 5 places but the main leak is right there at the housing but I took all of that off and looked and it is coming from somewhere else and running down

Oil leaks can be very tricky i have seen my fair share that were pretty hard to track down.If you can see it leak you can spray the oil away with brake cleaner and watch where the new oil appears.
