Default I Love a Mystery:

....gotta be going out somewhere, unless the tranny is running hotter than a two-dollar machine gun and frying the lube. (not very likely).

I guess you've checked the slip yoke tailshaft seal and flywheel housing for signs of leakage. Take a look at the frame and body for signs of oil aft of the tranny. (Sometimes some leakage can occur at the shifter interface and the slipstream blows the oil aft.)
