Since there is a load of metal filings on the floor and exhaust from that coupler I would take that apart and see what falls out.

The oil and debris are getting flung off by the coupler, but there's no oil in the coupler, so that's coming from somewhere else.

Any other symptoms?

Crap flows down and back I would look to the top back of the engine and look in there though its a tight place a small inspection mirror might help or even better a inspection camera...cheapo from harbor freight, rear main, the oil pressure sending unit, the attachments there most suspect. Your coupling simply flings it with its circular motion when driving. And it could be running down the top of the trans, BTW our manual trans does not have a rear output bearing its machined for it though. Your video if you look closely shows some oil on top of the rear trans mount, but not a good video, you have to trace it where the oil is coming from not where it ends up.
