I'm positive its not power steering fluid, because I know I checked 3 times to make sure all the clamps were on the ends of the hose. Also, if you can imagine the axle drawing a line horizontally right above the oil pan and right in the middle of the subframe, there is no oil above the axle line.
As far as tuning goes, I wouldn't take my car anywhere else but DB Performance in Rogers. Shane is the most knowledgeable tuner in the state. 763-428-9882

Once this is accomplished clean off all the oil with degreaser and then go for a drive. Now that you have the suspect fluid narrowed down, you should be able to look and see where the oil is coming from. Sounds like a drivers side axle seal from the description. If it isn't apparent, try adding a dye and a few more drive cycles.

I've tried the cleaning and then go for a drive approach and still can't tell exactly where its coming from. After a drive there is oil covering all of the t-case, and half of the oil pan. Its so much fluid that it starts to drip after the drive. I've cleaned it off every time after driving and still can't pinpoint exactly where the leak is coming from.
After cleaning and putting it up on jackstands it doesn't leak. Thats another reason I think it might be tranny related because it only seems to happen after driving and not idling in the drive way.
Hopefully this weekend I can add some dye in the tranny and make sure its coming from there before I rip everything apart again.
Thanks everybody for the tips
