 Looks like it was coming from the tranny side rather than the engine; and it's

little bit from around the drive plates the CVs bolt to.
 
Robert,
When you drain the transmission see how much lube comes out. (should be about 3 liters) Maybe the case was overfilled.  That would explain why oil was coming out all the different places you mentioned.  What do the experts think?
