I have the vehicle listed above L.L. Bean model. There is an oil leak coming from the passenger side of the motor. Is this a common problem and what is the cause?

We need to know if the leak is near the front, middle or rear of the engine, it could be a valve cover gasket, front cam seal or the oil pressure sender, I have included the oil pressure sender location and how to change it out, this is a common place for an oil leak. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
