Nope. Dye is your best bet.

Is there any way to see behind the engine since i cant get behind to see the dye? I used the dye and its running from the back of the motor and running down the transmission and i see it running down the bell housing.

I lie on the ground and look up the back of the trans, It sounds like oil sending unit, or intake gaskets.

Would a Head Gasket cause the leak enough for me not to see it drip down the transmission?

I'm going with the Captain Obvious response, but did you check your valve covers? Those things leak oil like a sieve. The oil ends up dripping off the back of the motor right down onto the bell housing. I have to re torque my bolts at every few oil changes. The gaskets are good the bolts just come loose. I have been contemplating locktite on those bolts.
