I think I found the source of the leak. Attached are photos. I think it's the oil filter housing. It's hard to get a good picture but I think you can clearly see the oil.

I also included a couple of pictures of the oily mess underneath the car. You can see from the droplets appearing how much oil is leaking. I already wiped those areas off just a couple minutes before taking the pictures. I only had the car on for 1 minute today when I moved it to where I wanted to jack it up.

I also posted a picture of what looks like a vacuum tube that is sheared off. Not a priority but I am curious if anyone knows what that is for, and where it goes.

So I am going to commence on buying parts to repair the oil filter housing, unless you think I have misdiagnosed it? Please advise.
