I would love to be able to help but for the most part, in your pictures I have no idea what I am looking at.

Based on the amount of "wet" you have either blown a seal or a line somewhere, the trick is going to be finding it. I'm thinking, if it isn't obvious where the oil is coming from, and from your pics I'm thinking it should be, maybe you could try that UV oil leak findy thing.

i don't think so im pretty sure i would notice that... i don't know though i could have looked right over it and my drop light burned up in flames (loose wires :/) right when i turned it on. I just replaced it too about 13,000 miles ago

Okay, here's what you want to do. First check your fluids- coolant, oil, and power steering. Next pull your spark plugs out and inspect them, and maybe with all your plugs out, turn over the motor to blow out any gunk in them. Then check your compression in each cylinder. If your belts got soaked with oil they my be sliping, so check that also. Then clean it all back up, top off the fluids and see how it runs- then report back.

Clean everything up. Fill with oil and look for leaks.

With the amount of oil all over the place, there's a serious leak somewhere.

I threw 5 qt's in her and drove her to the garage. When i first shifted into reverse and drive there was a good 3-5 second delay before the car would start moving. The RPM's bucked around constantly and the tranny couldn't decide which gear to be in. Some times whether I was in 1st or 5th the RPMs would be wherever they wanted to and could be anywhere from 2k up to 7k and the engine response was the same, no added power in the higher rpms
