All these places are common leaks:
*camshaft position sensor
*headgasket
*oil sending unit
*valve cover gasket
*rear main seal

you gotta clean it all off then run it and try to find the source. if the valve cover or cam sensor leak it runs down the head and transmission all over hell and it can be hard to track down or could be mistaken for a rear main seal.
is it coming off the transmission front or rear? just the back ofthe oil pan somehwat beside the drain plug or what?
