What did the clutch disc itself look like?
About the oil leak. GM products are very prone to rear main seal leaks. And, when they do leak, the oil leaks onto the flywheel which then sprays it uniformly all over the back of the block. You'll notice that the caked oil is everywhere, not just in a drip line. That's what makes it look like rear main seal to me. If you look at the bell housing and the where it mates up to the block, those surfaces are pretty clean - with the possible exception of the top center. If there is a gap at the top, oil from an intake gasket could be coming into the bell housing area at that point and will get sprayed by the flywheel as well. Is there a gap, or does the bell housing seat all the way around?
If it is the rear main, you may just want to drive it until it dies. Typically it means dropping the pan and the rear main cap. That also means you get to reseal the front cover......
