300zx oil leak

My oil leaks on the passenger side of my car and it's a good amount of oil coming out of the car, what could it be that is making it leak and I just replaced my oil pressure sensor thinking that was the problem

Thanks for the post. Your photo isn't giving us the right info. Hard for me to tell where that photo was taken. Is it below the oil pan drain plug? Is the filter above leaking? Is it below the timing belt cover?

No oil can be circulating outside the engine bay - so telling us 'passenger side' makes not much sense - unless you mean the passenger side of the motor. Try to be more exact in your post. Have you checked the motor just above where those oil drips on the ground are? What is up there? That's where the oil came from. What do you see? Post a photo of that if you can. Thanks.

Oil cooler

possible leak at or going to an oil cooler. What year and engine is your car, helps a lot, since all z32's are not the same.

Have you considered putting the car on jack stands or ramps so you can crawl underneath it to see exactly what is leaking?
