Engine oil leak from the passenger side of the vehicle. I am having trouble figuring out what it is, it is right next to the oil filter but not coming from there. oil sensor possibly?

Oil pressure sensor is a very likely suspect. Next would be the oil filter adapter gasket.
There is a heat shield over the sensor, remove it and the sensor is there. I have also changed them from underneath, just pull the oil filter and reach up around the mount to the sensor.
