Mystery Oil Leak from 93 3.0 5-speed

I have a mystery oil leak coming from my engine. It looks like the oil is running down and finally falling onto the ground from the transmission. Ill attach a few pictures. Where are come places I should start my check?

This is an upside down picture of my transmission and base pan.

Could be from the valve cover gasket. I had the same issue though on my 22RE 4 cyl and it appeared the xmission was leaking. After replacing the gasket it stopped.

you need to clean everything up REAL good, then recheck for leaks.
