Sudden massive oil leak S90-V90

Hi Folks.

My V90 has sprung a very sudden oil leak since its last fluid change about 2 weeks ago. The oil appears to be coming out of the spot where the engine and bellhousing meet up. So I'm thinking rear main seal, but the engine only has 80k miles, and this leak has come on very fast and very heavy within a very short period of time. Keep in mind, my drain pan was bone dry two weeks ago, now everything under that car is soaked in oil and there are 8-inch diameter oil stains all over my driveway.

I used a new oil on this last change: 6 quarts of Mobil Clean 5000 10w/30w. Has anyone used this stuff before? It looks to be leaking around the edges of the oil filter, too.

I know it sounds stupid and I have no way of telling if this is related, but I noticed one of the vacuum line fittings (the little L-shaped one near the intake hose) is all greasy, too.

So I'm thinking this might be the the oil itself that's causing these problems. Any advice?
