Well, here is a few things I thought of....
1. Have you recently done or had work done to the car. (i.e. trans. or transfer fluids?) Maybe the fill or drain plug isn't tight....
2. did you see where the flex pipe was rubbing!? maybe there is a hole there and the exhaust is blowing all the oil, all over the side of everything making it look alot worse than it is....
3. Do you have an oil pump issue?! Did the pump walk inside the housing?
4. Get the garden house out and spray down everything with some kind of Degreaser. Simple Green engine degreaser works wonders for me.

yes the flex pipe is rubbing on the differential. I took pics of where it was rubbing. No damage done other than the downpipe. The oil is dripping down to the oil pan.
I do not believe I have an oil pump issue.?

Did you ever figure this out bro?? I am kind of having the same problem and can't figure out where this oil is coming from. Just seeing what your problem was so I can diagnose mine. Appreciate it man.
