So good news/bad news: it doesn't seem like my transmission has been leaking. It looks like my crankcase pressure has been causing oil to come out of the base of my oil filter as well. My guess is that something is happening at WOT that's causing pressure to build up. My bellhousing was catching some of of the oil and that explains why it's been dripping out of the front when parked with no real sign of a leak anywhere within the bellhousing itself. It's apparently getting worse because the whole front of my trans was covered after a quick run to get some gas.
Gonna change my oil to see exactly how much I've lost since my dipstick is a little unreliable and do a leakdown test. Hopefully I'm not tearing the engine apart but right now it's looking like an issue with the rings or valves. Current theories are that my rings aren't seated well or an exhaust valve isn't closing all the way.
