Default Puddles of oil

I have a 98 chevy blazer 4.3 and I was pulling in to work today my oil pressure shot to 0 so I parked real fast now I have puddles of oil under the driver side cant figure out what happened or where it's coming from. Any suggestion on where to start?

My first guess.

Either at the fittings where the lines go into the radiator or if you have a 4x4, the lines at the oil filter mounting block.
