My car has 73,000 miles and supposedly blew a head gasket and I had it
repaired. I waited 2 weeks for the car. I got the car and drove it 2 days
and oil started leaking from it. I brought it to the dealer and they said
it was an oil pressure switch. I had replaced. The car is leaking oil after
one day. It is going back to the dealer tomorrow. The oil is leaking on the
right hand side above the drain pan. The oil plug is tight. Does anyone
have any insight on this problem?

Unfortunately there is no standard for what "right hand" means in this
situation. Right side sitting in the driver's seat? Right side
facing the engine compartment? Right hand side of the block facing
the front end of the engine? Its sufficiently ambiguous that we the
repair business usually say "driver's side" or "passenger side" when
ordering parts.

It is on the passenger side.
