i think i found it. the valley pan silicone seal was very thin and weak at the front ds corner and down the driver side. i imagine that the initial launch popped the seal and as soon as i hit around 5000 rpm it opened up enough to let a burst of oil out. as soon as the windshield got sprayed it didnt get any worse. hope this was it. spent 2 hours tonight cleaning parts and removing the valley pan and cleaning that up. will reseal and try it again soon i hope. what a mess i got to clean up though. oil everywhere on the car and now on the garage floor. stuff just keeps dripping from all the nooks and crannies in the engine compartment.
