If it is coming form the rear, then it could be at the valve cover, head or at the rear main seal.
Yeah, that makes sense. From the top, I see no oil at all (valve cover). I'm thinking it has to be maybe the rear seal. I'll report back. On the other hand, this did start after I got my oil/filter changed now that I think about it so maybe the new filter wasn't put on right or tight enough and that is leaking.
