Oil Leak
I have an oil leak and after a quick glance, it look slike it is dripping off the transmission housing. I am thinking rear main seal. I looked and the valve covers appear to be dry. Sounds like this is gonna be difficult.

Try changing the oil pan gasket first, might be coming from there. I changed my rear main while the engine was out and that specific part of the repair had me swearing the most.

We did and that was FUN! had to jack the engine up to try and get the damn pan out of the crossmember frame thingy since it was on both freakin sides
Hey Ben, the oil pan is pretty time consuming, took me about 2-3 hours at work... gotta support the engine/trans, remove crossmember, y pipe can hang down, engine/trans coverplates and some other small things. It'll take you a good time doing it in a garage on your back. Its not hard nor expensive just time consuming.
If you DO do it, be sure to not start the car right away like i did I was so excited that I finished and could go home that I forgot you had to build pressure for like 30 seconds or something.
