Valve cover leaks a small amount from that corner, but the oil on the block is fresh, versus the oil on the head that is not, so that would rule out the drain as well. I've also never blown out the dipstick.

Disc is kevlar, and they're more prone to glazing. It once held 13 psi in all gears, now it won't hold anything above 10. So I'd say a 2100lb clutch that isn't holding even 200ft-lb at the crank is cooked.
Febo, it's both fronts that are bad. I already had to do both rears this past fall.
