Default Leaking oil from top rear of block, help pinpoint please!

Tranny is out now cause I was pretty sure the rear main seal was leaking. I mean it was almost spewing out oil while running in my garage. Well evidence shows I also have a leak up higher cause there is built up oil all over the top of the tranny.

Does not look to be leaking out of the oil pressure sending unit but more to the right of it where I see a small bolt fastened to the block. Is this a possible oil leak spot or is the oil pressure sending unit the only culprit up there. Its just real hard to get my big head to see all the way up there lol.

Note, no evidence of leaking from the valve covers.

Thanks in advance!
