Turns out, it wasn't engine oil, it was ATF that picked up the black color from the general engine compartment krud. Sure had me fooled.

I wish that was the case, as Jesse told me that I do need an PS return hose. But I can wipe off the top of the cooler line, and see the oil ooze out from the cleaned area. it starts as a little oil circle, and as more oozes out it turns into a drip that runs down to the connection at the oil cooler. Bummer.....
