I can't find that part anywhere.(correction: I found it, crankshaft oil seal, rear)

I've heard of a rear main seal but I've never replaced one.

Is it between the transmission and the engine or is it just part of the engine that is accessible with the transmission removed?

I do have an oil leak somewhere back there.

There is always a drop forming on the torque converter "housing" but I assumed it was coming from the IP that has been leaking oil for a while now.

The torque converter itself doesn't have any oil on it so I suspect my oil leak is coming from somewhere outside the engine itself.

The transmission I'm putting on is a used one with 120K miles on it.

Are there any issues I should investigate on the transmission itself?
