oil leaking badly

i noticed oil leaking from my car the other night very badly basically a slow pouring from the bottom, its coming from the drivers side. i checked the filter and its tight, i looked to see where it could be coming from but there is oil all over the side and i cant tell and exact spot since i had been driving while it was leaking.

anyone have similar problems? or know what the hell it is?

probably popped an oil cooler line, all you can do is run the engine and try to locate the leak unless it is dripping right off of a component.
