THe area you show in your pic is not the oil pump. That is the oil filter adaptor, and right above that is the oil pressure switch. If you hit a hole in the road that was deep enough to hit either of those items you have more problems than just an oil leak to deal with. The oil pressure switch has a black plastic body that is attached to a metal base. This is not the best design out there as it can break easy, I broke one by dropping a wrench on it while changing a belt.
Clean the area really good above and below, then run the engine and see if you can see any oil comming out any where. Fix the part that is leaking.
