Ford NH 8340 SLE hydraulic oil leak

Hello, can anyone help with this please.
When I was rolling yesterday my 8340 started leaking oil from around what I presume is the sensor on what I think is the charge filter housing? Luckily I noticed it straight away and was able to stop before too much oil was lost but it does pump it out at quite a rate. The tractor has done 260 hours since I last changed all 3 filters so I would presume that a blocked filter is unlikely. Has anyone experienced this before on 40 series tractors? From the picture you can see where it's leaking from.
Thanks in advance.

Our Tm 150 did the same on the pump pressure sensor, we just took it out and put a bolt with some ptfe tape on to keep us working in the silage and it's still there now 12 months later.

Only the pressure switch, same one on the side of the engine block for engine oil pressure light. Would be very disappointed if your dealer wasn't stocking those.
