Max, it seems like you may have taken offense to that last comment. Just so we are clear, I am in awe of how, even from the smallest thing, some of the members of this forum are able to make a great diagnosis.

Its like watching Columbo, he asks off-the-wall questions that seem completely disconnected. Yet in the end it is those answers that solve the case, genius.

Thanks for the tips Ceej, I'm pretty positive on the location(s) of the leak. I could see it physically squirting out from between the deck and head near the rear (toward the firewall) and middle-ish-rear (just above the dizzy, maybe toward the firewall a few inches).

Now it could just be me, but it seemed like the leak only started when the car was turned off, because I was right there a few minutes before checking the heater hose to heater core for leaks. And I would have notices it leaking the way it was. Just after I turned off the car I heard a gulping/sloshing noise. Upon investigation there was oil (possibly mixed with coolant) squirting out. This resulting in enough oil on the ground to fill the cap of a quart of oil. That's when I decided it was lunch break time.

Also, not sure if it matters, my oil level was a bit high (maybe 1/4"-1/2" on the dip stick).
