After a oil change on my wifes nissan quest the check engine light came on then the engine quit. After further inspectiion I found large amounts of oil in the drive way and where it had quit.Could the oil pressure switch malfunction and cause the engine to pump out the oil ?

Normally it's impropper oil filter installation, either wrong part number, or old "O" ring seal still against filter mounting surface. Remove the filter and check for an extra seal!
