Turned out to be dirty transmission fluid that resembled oil on the ground from the pump seal. It does not explain the change in oil pressure gauge right after the oil change. I'm hoping its just the sender getting wonky.
Failures for the week
'84 Suburban with 112k miles: Transmission pump seal (required removing the trans)
'00 Tahoe with 95k miles: Radiator and AC compressor. Once I had finally sold it the new owner didn't make it out of the parking lot before the alternator failed.
95 E320 with 98k miles: Transmission failure. This is not a month after doing the head gasket and wiring harness.
94 Buick Roadmaster with 100k miles: AC leak that's most likely the evaporator. I'm slowly losing performance and smelling gas through the vents.
95 Buick Park Avenue with 190k miles: Brake master cylinder crapped out and almost caused an accident.
00 BMW X5: Water pump started leaking badly. Dumped it at the dealer auction today because I had way too much else to deal with and got my money back.
