Default Oil Leak

I've looked through a few oil leak threads and I haven't been able to find one that really explains my issue. (If you know of one, I'd gladly go to it). Like the Title says, my 2000 neon is leaking oil. I've changed the valve cover gasket and there were a few small leaks in that, but nothing like what's causing the issue. I'm actually having puddles under the car when I stop it, and when I looked under at my engine, it looks like the leak is coming from between my engine and my transmission, though it's engine oil, not transmission oil. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this and/or might know where to look.

If it looks like it's coming from between the engine and trans it could be the rear main seal or whatever it's called on these cars.

I'm going to try and lift it up, clean it, and take take some pictures tomorrow, Maybe that'll help a bit in figuring it out. I did hear that might be the case. If so, would it be hard to change?

A leak between the engine and transmission is usually a rear main seal on any car.
