Question Leaking from back of my motor

I have a small leak from the back of my ls1 on my 98 TA not sure where it's coming from though. It looks like the oil pan but then again there is oil all over the flywheel I have'nt dropped anything yet (like the tranny) to check and see exactly but before I do can anyone with experiance let me know what they think the car has 119k on the clock.

probably the rear main seal. Kind common on high mileage ls1's. I already replaced mine a year ago.

Rear main seal is common, if it is a small leak (drip drip, not puddle puddle) it probably isn't worth worrying about.

Might want to keep a little better eye on your oil level though should it ever escalate.
