Default Large Oil Leak

I changed my oil the other day and there were no problems until I drove it this morning, at which point I noticed smoke trailing boehind my 1995 Chevy Blazer. When I parked, I noticed a large pool of oil underneath the vehicle. The leak appears to be coming from the rear left side of the engine and only occurs when the engine is running. Any idea as to what could be leaking?

Thanks. Where is the oil sending unit located on the back of the block?

After further inspection, not only was the oil pressure sending unit wet, it was broken in half. Guess that solves that mystery
