That sounds like how my car looked when I blew the return line off the oil
cooler.  I also had a nice light coat of oil on the lower portion of the
passenger side door and the front wheel.  Brake caliper was also pretty
well coated.  Lines are incredibly expense from the dealer (~$700+ for both
feed and return), so I had them fabricated by a local Aeroquip dealer that
specializes in heavy machinery (thanks for the tip Ned R.).  I also
replaced the brake pads.  Took a while to clean off all the oil from
underneath the car too.
