Classic bad pressure switch symptom with the oil you're seeing leaking
out of it.

Although trusting Brett is generally a good move, I'd test oil pressure
before throwing parts at your problem.  Either use a store bought pressure
gauge ($$$) or create a homemade one (not $$$) out of a mechanical dash
gauge.  This will point you in the right direction and let you know whether
you have real oil pressure problems (oil pump) or just electrical problems
(sensor).
