I have an oil leak and I am suspecting either the VTEC solenoid gasket or the oil pressure switch which I think are located in the same area. Could you provide a diagram of where they are located and perhaps how to remove and replace these items?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, could you check if there is another oil pressure switch located on the right passenger side of the motor about midway down (not part of the VSS valve)? Looking up from the wheel-well, I see what looks like a pressure switch. Thanks!

Yes, the oil pressure switch is located on the right side of the engine compartment. See attached picture and diagrams.

Do I remove this switch from the bottom or on top? Looks tight from bottom. Might need Univeral from top?

It should be from bottom. If the vehicle is on a lift it will be ideal to get to it.
