Leaks are no fun to find. Your best bet might be to really clean the engine off with degreaser and a hose and to run it on jacks to see if you can tell where its coming from. If it's that bad a leak, it should present itself once the engine is clean.
If the oil pump o-ring is new, I wonder if they replaced the front main seal at the same time? That's definitely the closest culprit. The valve cover is a common leak area, but I'm not sure anyone would confuse that with something quite so low in the engine.
For the lines, do you mean the ones going to the oil cooler? They'll typically weep before really leaking in volume. Your best bet to replacing them it to use a small cut off wheel like a dremel the cut the clamps of the fitting at each end, but leave the fittings in place, and just attached a new hose to the fittings with hose clamps. Just be sure to get hose rated for heat, oil, and pressure (probably something designed for automatic transmission coolers will be the easiest to find). I don't think that's the source of your leak, but not a bad thing to replace if they're weeping.
