RE: oil leakage?
I agree that it sounds like a rear main seal. Not sure, but if your motor is getting up there in mileage, it might just be the nature of the beast. Probably nothing you can really do about it but keep checking and adding when necessary. Are you getting a lot of blow by?

well lets just say the tranny has to get pulled along with some other stuff thats in the way
the seal itself is like $20
your gunna be paying for hours of labor
you could do it yourself if you know how to pull a tranny
