I pray to God it's not my rear main seal!
 
So I have this oil leak... what fun!
Here's the facts from what I observed:

*After I changed my oil last time, I noticed it dripping really slowly from the front of the oil pan. Could be an oil pan gasket?
*I noticed oily spots above the front of the oil pan towards the engine.
*Oil on my spark plugs.

I pray to God it's not my rear main seal!

Any ideas?

im sort of having a similar problem... when i go on long drives like maybe 20 30 min.. when i come to a stop oil drips onto my exhasut right before the cat.. causing a slight but noticeable smoke.. I will be diagnosing it this weekend.

Seems like rear main seal would drip out of the bottom of the bellhousing.

Front of pan sounds like oil pan gasket. Much easier than rear main.

Spark plugs sounds like valve cover gasket. Real easy.
