Massive oil leak

[3rd time lucky]

Hi all. Driving my xud9te down the motorway and the stop light came on. After stopping and letting it cool, I inspected it and there is oil all over the underside of the car and up the rear doors and wheels. It looks like an oil hose has been rubbing on another hose, causing it to split and loose all its oil. I should this something common or is there somewhere else I should look before fixing this pipe for it to still have the same problem.... if I can't  find the fault, the car will be going to the scrappy.
