-it's covering the entire left side of the engine. And only the left
-there is oil 75% the way up. Basically clutch slave down.
-it's pooling in the pan under the engine big time
-the leak seems to close to the top left o the bell housing and running down.
Clean off the engine and try looking at the base of the oil cooler, which is in the exact area you describe. It has four O-rings, two that seal it to the cooling system, two that seal it to the oiling system. One of the O-rings may have gone bad.
