Oil Leak???

This picture was taken when I had about a half quart of oil come pouring out of the under side of the driver side exhaust manifold.



The picture was taken from on the ground looking up from the front axle to behind the driver side exhaust manifold, the red circle shows where the oil was actually pouring off of, it may being coming from something above this pictured item and running down, but there are no leaks on top of the motor, What on the driver side of the motor could be pouring out oil?

So the lines in the picture go to the oil cooler? Are there seals that can be replaced in these lines?

is the oil cooler above the fuel lines? Possibly the oil is leaking down from the cooler and running off of the fuel lines? Does this seam like what is in the picture?

Definately time for oil cooler o-rings. I am getting ready to do mine in the near future. The oil cooler is right under the driver's side exhaust manifold. Looks like a big tube (becuase it is!). The back of it is where the oil filter screws in, and the front is where it ties into the front cover for coolant exchange.
