So this is the making of a bad time, ive been watching my mustang leak some oil for a while now, knowing that these things just leak (otherwise it wouldnt be a ford) - but now its bothering me just because its almost time to put her away for the winter and start to think of what i want to do next.

Its not pouring oil or anything, just small drips here and there, but im thinking that this could be the rear main seal leaking - it seems to be coming from the plate that seperates the tranny and the engine block, dripping onto the ground. I checked the back of the valve covers and back top of the intake, i see a little gunk hanging around the back top of the intake manifold, but its not pooling there or anything.

Here is a pic - let me know what you guys think.
