transmission oil leak

i got oil coming from the rubber boot that comes out of the tranny next to the slave cylinder. it looks like it coming from the tranny side and not from the slave cylinder. any ideas on what the problem is?

My rear main is out, and it leaks at the bottom of the bell housing, not the slave cylinder. You sure it's not the back side of the slave leakin?
