Clean the area very well, drive for a little while and report back exactly where the oil is coming from.

They will move and develope a crack from vibration if the clamps are not fastened down.
I know from personal experience. when I was hooking everything on the engine while it was out, I forgot to bolt the mount on the R/R corner of the head. 4300 miles later it developed a oil leak where the line is press fitted into the banjo fitting at the oil filter housing.
I pulled one off a PNP engine, and where one of the clamps fit around the tube, it rubbed enough, it`s a wonder it didn`t leak.
