5-sp just started to leak bad. could it be the front main seal?

I was doing a wot run and when i slowed down i noticed alot of smoke! I stoped and the smoke was coming from under the car well, I looked and the tranny was leaking gear oil like a *****...Im wondering could it be the front tranny seal? its leaked all over the exhaust manifold and is burning.
Im going to pull the tranny today and i just wanted some head's up help guy's thank's.

Ok so i jacked the front of the car up today and noticed that the gear oil was covering the whole underside of the car! Next i removed the rubber plug under the tranny and gear oil poured out..Not good! Well i drained the tranny and metal chunk'c poured out with the tranny oil. Im guessing that the front main seal went and it flooded the bell housing? But im not sure yet. Anyway tomarrow ill drop the tranny to comfirm this and post back up for those of you who are reading this.
