Default HELP, clicking noise coming from drive shaft/tranny area

I have an 06 with 100k miles and the car has been acting weird the past couple of months. I got under her and noticed the differential front mounts were torn. i switched them out along with the motor & tranny mounts. The issue didn't go away and the mounts i swapped still had some life in them besides the torn one. so I put the car on stands and had my wife place it in first gear to engage and disengage the clutch on first gear to see if I could figure out the issue and this is what I hear... keep in mind that the clutch has been replaced, slave & master cylinders also replaced. Has anyone seen this or had experienced with anything like this before? What's the issue with her

any help would be much appreciated it. Thank you

your center drive shaft is probably spitting grease everywhere, put the car in neutral and try to rotate the rear wheels by hand hard back and forth< do you hear any noise?

I see a dark oily spot around the center drive shaft under the car but never noticed grease spots under the car or shooting out. I will spin the tires by hand tomorrow to see if i hear a noise.
