Random Oil Leak

Well folks, I went to start the car yesterday and back it out of the garage, and I noticed about a 10 inch long oil streak on the floor. It's perfectly straight and very skinny.

This started happening after I went WOT and brought the car up to 120+ on the highway a couple of weeks ago after getting upset that my carb wasn't working right. Carb seems to be corrected now, part of the problem I think is temperature. When it's 75-80 degrees outside, the car isn't 'as-fast' as it is when it's 60-65 degrees out. Normal right?

Now I'll be honest, I ran this car out until the end of it's rope. The car has nothing left and my foot was to the floor. Probably for fifteen seconds. Motor still runs fine though.

I crawled under the car, but I can't seem to find a leak. The starter is a little wet, but the motor is completely dry above it. Am I looking at a rear main seal blowout? What else could have happened?
