steady oil leak when car is runnin.. rearmain?

I would hold off till you get to see what gives before worrying. Valve cover leaks, etc can leak down the back of the block and appear to be a RMS leak.

Also, Excessive crankcase pressure can take the path of least resistance if you have a clogged system, and that can force oil out past the crank seals.

I would clean it all up real well and then safely let the car idle and note the source of new leaks.

Good luck.
