Oil leak near clutch on 1982 240D

I just replaced my oil pan, new gasket, nice, no more oil pan leak.

After doing so I noticed I've also got a leak near the clutch - there are 2 nuts about a foot away from each other that are becoming coated in oil and drip...drip...

Checking the topside, I have a minor valve cover leak. But, tracing the oil down , I don't see any other wet areas between the valve cover and the area that is leaking.

OK, so I have one oil leak down, now I need to fix this other leak.

I'm slightly concerned it might be the rear main seal. If that's the case, I'll have to use my spare engine after all.

Any ideas, comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
