Whoa whoa whoa, that return line is way too small!! I'm almost positive that's what's causing the problem. You can see the oil is forcing itself passed the teflon tape/paste in turn causing the same effect that a kinked return line would cause. I'm suprised your "mechanic" looked passed that..The return line should be the size of the outlet on the flange you have bolted, there should be no reducers at all. Get that fixed and I would guess you would be ok...I can't honestly say whether or not those seals will be good or not after that much oil has forced itself passed. I'll keep my fingers crossed though since it happened in such a short period of time.
For the time being, you can go to Autozone and get some heater hose for the return line. That's what I'm using and have had 0 problems so far. Mine is 3/4" in diameter. The return line you have right now is 1/4".
Goodluck.
