wash underneath it, drove it, put it on the rack, and saw it coming from the middle of the motor, at the back, and up, and my oil pan is leaking also.

rear main, either trans or engine needs to come out....i just replaced mine on saturday (with the clutch). I can't tell if that was my leak or it's my oil pan, but we'll see in the morning, since i just got it all back together an hour ago.
