Just an update on my prior note above... Had a chance to do some more looking under the car. It appears to be leaking at the front corners of the oil pan. On both front corners of the pan, the gasket "squishes out" a bit and is soaking wet with oil. It is apparently running back along that line to the back of the pan and then blowing back onto the block plate, tranny, etc. I could find no oil anywhere above the oil pan, so I think that's it.
