regal 231 v6, non turbo..

Help! I cant tell if its an oil leak somewhere around the engine or what.. but heres the scenario.

Its been like this for several months now, i can wash my engine down and drive around alot, come back and see my engine completely hosed with oil. I cant tell if its from my power steering box (because the bolt on top looks like its holding alot of oil around the edges)

I mean, the oil is all over my distributor, alternator, fan, belts, everything!
I cant figure it out, so im wondering.. If a power steering box goes bad, where would it leak from? Where ever it leaking from it would be spraying it out to where the fan can catch it and throw it everywhere.

Ive watched it when its running, idle, etc and everythings fine, but when i go driving and come back its ****ed...

I think i already got an oil leak so its kinda hard to tell..
thanks for any advice.
 
I usually start by checking the oil pressure idiot light sender, they love to leak and are usually at the front of the motor on many GM cars. Fan blows the oil everywhere.

Either that or the turbo feed line. ;)

Plastic reservoir or a hose from the power steering could go too, but that oil is different and the fluid would go down noticeably in the reservoir for power steering leaks.

Got to check the fluid closely to determine exactly what it is first. :)
