Default Oil Leak??

I have been putting a piece of cardboard under my car now for a year. It's a 99 Trans Am WS6. Had some guys at a shop tell me that it was the rear main seal. So when it was time to replace the clutch they put a new rear main seal in. Got the car back and the oil is still leaking in the same spot. It is a 6 speed car and the oil is dripping from where the oil pan stops and the tranny starts.
Just looking for all the places it could be from guys - it is motor oil and it is a few drips per night if I drive it that day.

Thanks

Take it back and tell them it still leaks. You paid for them to fix the oil leak right?

Ya I could do that - i would just rather fix whatever it is myself since I know it is not the rear main which is the tough one. Just looking for some places to check for leaks that are typical places for our cars to leak in that area.
