Chuck,
Is the oil filter nice and dry (that would be too easy, wouldn't it)?

Are you sure it's engine oil? My PS pump was leaking, yet I noticed 
nothing until the fluid reached the bottom of the oil pan (I was 
certain it was _engine_ oil until I did a very careful inspection of 
the bottom side of the PS pump).
