After some testing, I removed all sources except Display Capture, and left NDI sending the audio/video to the other pc. I did not connect to twitch or stream at all from the "main pc"
I literally watched it eat my memory up.
I do not have an explanation as to why this is happening, but I would sure like to know so I can get back to streaming. Even before using NDI and streaming / gaming from one pc I had this issue but lately it seems to be worse now.
Edit: It may also be good to note that I did NOT run any games during the time in which I watched OBS eat up my memory.
Edit 2: I have un-installed and downloaded the latest version to see if that helps and I still have the same issue.

23:35:24.083: Number of memory leaks: 0
I find it funny how the very last line says
23:35:24.083: Number of memory leaks: 0
However I can watch my memory get eaten alive while OBS is running and it does not do this with any other application.
If I reboot and do not run OBS I don't have this issue. Soon as I fire up OBS my memory usage % goes up until I reach 99% and then OBS crashed and my PC is useless until I reboot again.
