Default Oil Cooler done, new leak :( all oil gone (PICS NOW)

We started up the yellow car after the oil cooler was fixed and the pressure jumped right to 5. We moved it back and stopped because we saw a trail of oil coming from under the car. The train was 2 little lines of oil, one was about an inch think the other about 2 inches think. I looked under the car and i saw oil dripping off of a hose a little bit forward of the oil pan. Is there a hose that could be leaking or is a gasket blown? Ill post pics tomorrow

I can't tell much from the pics... I did the cooler seals for him. If it was the housing seals it would leak coolant or pump oil back into the cooling system. I wonder if the aluminum O-ring slipped out when I pulled the releif valve?? I'm pretty sure that the releif valve is tight enough, I didn't have the tools that I'd like to work with available, ie, torque wrench..I'll have to get back under it to figure it out.
