Passenger side = left side of engine? or drivers side when looking at engine = left side?

if it is the side vincentvega described then it is the passenger side and the oil cooler lines. if it is the other left then it is the power steering return line which is right above the drivers side head/rocker cover when looking from the front of the car intop the engine bay.

confused yet :)
