Leaking oil lines?
I think that the leak that I have is from some sort of oil line. But I'm not sure what the line is for. Does any one have any idea of what the lines are for on the drivers side? It looks like the line goes under the radiator, but I'm not for sure.

That's the lines from your power steering pump that run to the cooler behind the license plate. If the oil is red (ATF) it's coming from those lines.

Well I thought that it was the power steering pump so I bought a new one and now I'm not sure that it is. I thought that it was power steering fluid as well but its not, it looks more like engine oil. I guess that I need to clean everything with degreaser then see what happens.

Those are definitely the power steering cooler lines. You need to clean all the crap off that area and then you can better trace the origin of the leak. At speed, the wind whips around and throws it everywhere. If it is definitely coming from the fitting shown in the pic you need a new line.
