So, I'm about to go attack this stupid leak for the third time. I don't need to drain the oil for this, right? I just did an oil change less than 50 miles ago and really don't want to waste all that shiny synthetic.

You shouldn't have to drain the oil. You'll lose some, but most will stay in the crankcase, the filter is higher.
