So I have been able to isolate the sound from under the car at the rear of the engine, which leads me to believe that it must be an exhaust leak that only happens when the engine is under load. I am also going to check the motor mounts as well. I'm wondering if there is a little bit of torque on the motor that is either 1. Stressing the exhaust out, or 2. causing the oil to slosh around. Being that the motor mounts are probably original, they probably need to be replaced. The exhaust may just need to be replaced as well, since everything from the cats upstream is original.
