Default Oil Pressure Sending Unit...HELP

I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 5.2 L.
It is leaking oil really bad. Someone said it could be my oil pressure sending unit thingy. I kind of have an idea where it would be. But what is the best way to get to it? From top or underneath & how would I go about taking it out? Is there a special tool or socket that is used to do it?
Sorry... im a girl... so i need a little more help than usual.. I do know how to do a lot of stuff on cars.. if i either have a picture, or a good explanation given to me,, lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

It's at the rear of the block behind the intake manifold next to the distributor. You could have a leak at the intake gaskets, the ones that seal the galley to the intake. Or even a valve cover could be the problem. I can almost guarantee the plenum plate on the bottom of the intake is sucking oil.
