You need to be very careful cleaning todays engines with all the electrical components and sensors . You could maybe get an aerosol cleaner and use near the suspected area , then use leak detection powder or even talc powder to see where its coming from . It might be the oil pressure switch leaking , which only leaks when engine running .
