Have you checked your coolant? I know coolant usually mixes into the oil,
but there may have been some sort of fluke that has caused the reverse to
happen... might at least be worth a look.
nothing oozing out of any of the other gaskets though huh? weird. it can't
just dissappear unless it's dripping into the bell housing from the rear
main. even then you'd eventually get a puddle...
