Exclamation Massive oil leak

okay so yesterday i changed the oil on my 94 GC with the I6 and had trouble getting the oil filter off. In the process of wrestling it off i broke my oil pressure switch off. i thought i could drive without it so today i looked under my jeep and saw a puddle of oil so i started her up to see were the leak was i looked up to see oil streaming out coming from around the filter. im not quite sure where exactly its leaking from does anyone have a idea is there a seal or something that I could of broke when fighting with the old oil filter?? or does it have something to do with the broken oil pressure switch?

Did the old seal come off with the old filter, I've seen that happen before.

Oil will come right thru the oil pressure sensor if left off and not threaded back in.

There is an o-ring inside the filter housing adapter, if it's shot you wold lose quite a bitof oil from around the filter area.
