Could you supply some addl info like;
Model, engine size, mileage and anything that has recently been done maintenancewise.
Do you have any idea which side of the engine it may be coming from? The fan will blow it all over the engine. Are we sure it is motor oil , because coolant when wet looks slimy just like oil. Depending on if it is a considerable amount, have the oil or coolant levels gone down ?

1999 ford lightning..5.4 v8 supercharged. Recently had engine rebuilt and most of the oil seems to be on the driver's side

You might clean the engine some to determine where the oil is coming from, but oil level should change if it is losing oil.
Could be a problem with supercharger seals, shooting in the dark without actually looking at engine. Suggest having shop that did engine work, check their work.
