Help ID this crazy oil leak...

[jabstick420]

Hope you guys can save me some grief by narrowing down this issue...

background: started the car early am to get warmed up before dropping kids at school. come back 5-10 mins later and steady stream of engine oil underneath.

looking from underneath, oil pouring onto metal reinforcement plate and trickling down.
looking from driver side wheelwell, I see steady stream behind and above alternator.

not sure if its the alternator bracket, oil line, or valve cover.
never seen such a leak. just the usual drips here and there.

just wanting to narrow this down before attempting the alternator bracket. not sure if there is anything else in the vicinity that could cause this kind of leak.

thanks in advance for any input(s)...

and happy friday the 13th, and have a great weekend!
