I suppose it is possible. I have never seen that much fluid come out of a thrust arm bushing...maybe a tablespoon full. Perhaps they hold more now?
If the lights are off and you are not getting low oil pressure or oil level warnings, then it is safe to drive to the shop. But if any warnings come up, shut it down immediately.
Do you have wheel chocks, jack and jack stands so you can inspect from below? It would be ideal to confirm the source.
