I pulled the filter to start with an easy suspect. Since it's been sitting for a day, the oil had drained back and the filter came off clean.
There's a bulge and some waves in the gasket and oil towards the outside edge where the UV highlighted a ton of oil dripping down the filter. The gasket itself came off pretty easy because there was oil under it so this may be a culprit. Thinking back - there was a little evidence of a leak on the back side of the pan before my last oil change. It looked like someone randomly squirted oil on it. The leak got much worse after the last change, which may lend itself to the filter seal being a problem, but I also did more freeway driving.
