Default Leaking oil

Hello all I replaced my oil pan gasket because I though that's where it was leaking but it seems clean and not leaking there. It looks like it may be on the tranny side of the block. Does anyone know of areas where oil usually leaks from? BTW the crank side looks clean.

Your rear crankshaft seal is gone. Pull the trans, and replace the seal.

The spinning of the crankshaft will move the oil down the shaft and leak down the trans side.

Clutch will start to slip soon!

Take the inspection plate off the tranny, look for oil spun onto your fly wheel. If there is none. Then It's not your rear main..........And not unless you got a really really bad rear main seal leak, your clutch won't start slipping. That's if you have a stock flywheel anyway. Stock fly wheels are normally solid. So if anything, It'll only spin oil in the tranny housing. You clutch is on the other side of a solid flywheel. So your safe unless oil starts dripping from the top of you tranny housing onto you clutch.
