although ususally it doesnt gush oil that much.
if that is indeed what it is, start planning on a new clutch too because that much oil would get in the bellhousing and cause the clutch to slip (happened to me)

My valve cover gaskets also start leaking at regular intervals so give that a look too.

Unfortunately it's not either the CAS or the valve cover gasket. I replaced both of those over spring break (because CAS was leaking) and things were tight until now. No leaks at all.

I'm back at JMU now, Dad's going to take it in for me and foot the bill as a thank you for some work I've done for him lately. I'll definitely post back to say what was busted though.

EDIT: Got a call from the repair shop. Busted washer between the oil drain plug and the oil pan. Everything looked fine when I put it back together after last week's oil change, but the guy on the phone said it could take a while (in my case, a week) for it to leak and once it does, it doesn't stop.

Glad it wasn't anything worse. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
