There is oil dripping at a very fast rate from the back of my Cb's engine down onto the engine pipe.I left the car running in my driveway for about 45 mins and lost at least a 1/4 of a quart of oil.I have yet to look at it but I'm assuming it's the oil pressure switch.My rear main seal leaks but never this bad.Any advice?

diagnose the whole area.
- put the car up on jacks
- clean it up
- put a piece of cardboard underneath
- check where the oil is coming from
problem solved

definitly wash the area, there is no reason for speculation it would be hard to guess. Just get that baby up on those jackstands, wash it, and run it again. If it's bad it should be easy to tell, if you are really having a hard time seeing the oil run down, get one of those oil leak detectors, they are like a buck each.. it's a dye that turns a certain color/illuminates with light if it touches oil*. area has to be cleaned thoroughly though.

From my reading and experience this can only be 2 things.
1) Oil cooler ring (easy job $15 - $20 and 1 hour max once you got the tools out and car up)
2) Oil Sender ($15 to $40 depending on used or new and again 1 hour)
Likely to be the oil cooler since it sounds like a strong leak.
If its not the oil cooler i suggest you change it anyway since its old now and known to give way also. Cheap anyway.Rides:

A1 doesn't have an oil cooler unless he put one in from another engine.
an oil cooler o-ring is only 3 bucks from Honda even then that's over priced for a small ring of rubber.
I think the OP should use Juan4DCB7's suggestion and get under there to find the culprit.
maybe it's the oil pan gasket because i did mine not too long ago but only applied sealant around the corners, when i started my engine, it would shoot oil out near the "stiffener bracket" for the transmission.
