RMS and half moon gasket

Hey guys, about a week ago, I finished a clutch job for a buddy's 2000 SE. While we did it, we went ahead and replaced the RMS, including both half moon gaskets.etc. Well it turns out there is a leak from the RMS area. I removed the black inspection plate and when the engine is running can see a small stream (it's not gushing, but you can see the 'streak' moving'.

When I did the upper pan, I did put sealant around the halfmoon gasket corners though I'm not sure if I went far enough with it. The front halfmoon is not leaking. Every other part of the upper pan is dry as well.

So I wanted to get some feedback as I have to decide how to remedy this. If it's the RMS, transmission and upper pan has to come off. However if it's the halfmoon, I can get away doing this with having to remove the transmission. However I can't tell which one it is.
