4.8is Passenger Side coolant leak

A few weeks ago I had it in to have the valley pan and pipe replaced.

A couple days ago I noticed a small puddle on my garage floor, passenger side, behind the front wheel.

Tonight I noticed it dumping a ton of coolant after a 15 minute drive looking under there the entire suspension and inside of the wheel are soaked. Looking from the top, the MAF and all that housing were dry, but it looked like the leak was coming from whatever is directly below that, or from the bottom.

I've tried searching but everything turns up the expansion tank (other side) or the valley pan (just replaced). Ideas? Could they have screwed up on the valley pan?
