oil leak from back of engine

I had noticed puddles in my drive so I replaced the valve covers, thought it was coming from the back of of covers. I'm still leaking somewhere? The drip is coming off the bell housing for the transmission. I can't see where its coming from. Where could oil be leaking from the back of the engine knowing the valve covers are new?

My guess is the rear main seal... that requires a tranny drop to replace.

Rear Main. This is extremely common. I just replaced my front main seal while I was putting a new oem water pump on. The front is a piece of cake compared to the rear. Good luck.
