Broken oil filter housing just above pressure switch? Need to know how to remove and replace.

If it's not on the cylinder head,it will be on the oil pump housing.

You're vehicle has two sensors for the oil,an oil pressure sensor switch & oil pressure sensor.If oil pressure gets below 6psi,the oil pressure sensor switch will turn a dash light on to let you know the pressure is at a dangerously low amount.So if you've got a dash light on,the pressure sensor switch needs to be replaced.Its located to the right of the oil filter housing,on a 2.0 liter.Its located to the left of the oil filter housing,on the 3.0 liter.
If your oil pressure gauge is reading inaccurately,you need to replace the oil pressure sensor instead.Its located near the ac compressor.

first you need a oil pressure switch socket then the pressure switch is above the front engine mount bracket on the side of the oil filter housing adaptor.

Replace the oil pressure switch. It is located on the oil filter housing right above the filter.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

the wire going to the oil pressure switch may be broken but on the other hand it could be the oil pump (usually on the 2.0 tdi engine and they are not cheap) wv do a modified oil pump for them to find out if it is the pump you need to remove the oil filter ind get all old oil out of the housing and fit a brand new filter, then check oil level start car up for about 5 seconds then switch off, remove oil filter again and if its still clean and dry you have on problem with the pump

let me know if this helps
cheers

The low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position without the engine running. The lamp also illuminates if the engine oil pressure drops below a safe oil pressure level. To test the system, perform the following:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. If the lamp does not light, check for a broken or disconnected wire around the engine and oil pressure sending unit switch.
3. If the wire at the connector checks out OK, pull the connector loose from the switch and, with a jumper wire, ground the connector to the engine.
4. With the ignition switch turned to the ON position, check the warning lamp. If the lamp still fails to light, check for a burned out lamp or disconnected socket in the instrument cluster.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
On the 2.4L engine, the oil pressure switch is located on the side of the engine block facing the firewall. On the 3.0L engine, the oil pressure switch is located on the oil filter adapter housing, next to the starter motor. On the 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the oil pressure switch is located next to the oil filter.

1. Locate the oil pressure sending unit on the engine.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect the pressure switch electrical harness.
4. Using a pressure switch socket, deep-well socket or wrench, loosen and remove the pressure switch from the engine.

To install:

1. Install the pressure switch into the engine and tighten securely.
2. Attach the electrical connector to the switch.
3. Connect the negative battery cable.
4. Start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature and check for leaks.
5. Check for proper oil pressure switch operation.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this answerr).

oil filter screws onto an adapter housing which also has the pressure sending unit on it (above oil filter). This adapter housing bolts to the block with 3 bolts. if oil appears to be leaking from where the adapter housing meets the block (especially at the rear side of engine near bottom), then you need to replace the siamese o-rings between the adapter housing and the block ($12 part at dealer). remove lowest 12mm bolt and loosen top 2 12 mm bolts(top 2 bolts won't come out unless you drop the engine down, but loosening 1 inch is all you need), replace o-rings and retighten bolts. be careful not to get dirt/grit between block and adapter. just finished doing this to son's 95 2.7 v6 which was leaving an 8" puddle of oil after idling for only 1 minute-worked perfect

my car was doing the exact same thing and i spent about 18 hrs total trying to figure out. if you remove the oil filter, you will notice that the "bracket" that the oil filter attaches to is removable. remove the ENTIRE oil filter assembly. there is a bolt almost behind the crank pulley, its tricky to get to but you can get to it with a 1/4 in drive, swivel, and extension, i do believe it was a 10-12 mm socket (MUST BE ^POINT SHORT WELL) the top left bolt on the assembly you will notice that you can not get out. that is fine, take the rest of the bolts out and let the assembly hang from that bolt, BUT the bolt must me loosend all of the way to achive play in it. take a small screw driver and "break" the seal on the assembly. you will notice 2 holes. around those two holes is a single gasket. even the smallest crack will aloow oil to drip. my car was using about a gallon of oil every ten miles, so you can imagine how much oil i when through, replace the gasket. You can not get the rubber gasket ANYWHERE except a honda dealer. replace. put it together and you all set.

BASIC STEPS: RAISE PASSENGER SIDE.
REMOVE TIRE
REMOVE OIL FILTER
REMOVER ASSEMBLY
REMOVE GASKET
AND REPEAT BACKWARDS FOR INSTALLATION

NON-FSI PETROL ENGINES,THE SENSOR SWITCH IS SCREWED INTO THE OIL FILTER HOUSING,REMOVE THE ENGINE TOP COVER.UNBOLT THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK MOVE TO ONE SIDE .THERE NO NEED TO DISCONNECT COOLANT HOSES.AND DISCONNECT WIRING PLUG FROM SENSOR.UNSCREW SENSOR.....FSI ENGINES REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO GET AT SENSOR....DIESEL ENGINES THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR IS SCREWED INTO THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASWELL.PRISE OUT THE CAPS,UNDO THE NUTS AND REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER ON TOP OF ENGINE.REMOVE THE INSULATION BENEATH COVER (WHERE FITTED).DISCONNECT WIRING PLUG FROM SENSOR AND UNSCREW......BE PREPARED FOR OIL SPILLAGE.. HAVE A NICE DAY!!

If it is not the suggested gasket that is leaking then it is the oil pressure switch located exactly above the oil filter adapter. The black plastic housing could have developed a crack and oil will ooze downward and drip off the bottom of the adapter. I had this problem and changing the oil pressure switch took care of it.
