Currently dealing with a oil leak where the bell housing meets the oil pan. Still trying to figure out if it is rms or opg. Wondering if high engine temps when wp failed caused the rms to leak. Aside from that engine is very clean up top and runs well. On the inside i have a slight crack on bottom side driver seat bolster that flares up my ocd.
Almost everyone thinks it is the rear main seal at first - because of the slope of the engine, etc, that is where it drips. 99% of the time it is the oil pan

Remove the rubber inspection plug, look inside the bell housing - probably dry and clean
