Finally able to get it on a lift at work, oil filter adapter gasket possibly? Is it a pain to swap out?

It is a common issue and I've fixed two. Up in the air with basic tools and equipment it'd be a 1.5 hour job. I am sure it is the gasket but UV dye will tell the tale if you put an ounce in the oil and drive 2 days.

Drop the oil. Drop the coolant
Grab a garbage can size funnel to catch the coolant
Pull the housing, I used a razor blade to back scrape the housing and pop in the new gasket
You will need to get all the air out of the heater hoses and change your oil

If this is what I think it is, I also replaced the oil filter adapter gasket this past weekend. I had to change the oil and also make sure that no air was in the coolant hoses. Seems to be common with the MM. Took about 2 hours, maybe a little more. But I am super-meticulous when it comes to making sure there's no air in the system.
This was the culprit:

Check the aluminum surfaces for putting and corrosion. Apply silicone in such spots, if necessary
