Default Where is this oiling coming from?

I noticed the other day after a short drive a large oil leak coming from under my 15 GTS. I put it up on stands today and noticed oil seems to be coming from the front radiator if I'm seeing it correctly? When I turn it on the car starts leaking oil steadily. The drip is on the passenger side. Where is this coming from? Any suggestions? No oil drips can be seen from the engine bay at all. It's only when I pull the bottom cover off can I see the oil coming out. No low oil light at all.

Hi, there is a front oil radiator (for PDK).



You need remove front PC to access.
Your oil flows side of radiator connectors.:acclamations:

Thank you. PC? Not sure what that stands for?

Would it be safe to drive to a shop without running the tranny?

Question, does that front oil radiator hold oil for the PDK? Because it's leaking oil not coolant.

I forgot to mention that the car also started making this whining noise, almost super charged like when this started. I had this replaced today but the noise is still happening around 3-3,500 Rpm. Any clue?
It happens under acceleration and when stationary
