Question Oil leak...where from???

My 89 5.0 has been leaking slowly for a while now, but at this point it will spit oil on the ground if it's revved. I have the car on jack stands on the K-member, oil has been trickling down both of them.

If I look under the engine there appears to be leaked oil on the K-member, the oil pans, and the inspection plate. Does anyone know where this oil is coming from?

The transmission has been pulled along with the flywheel and I thought I would take a stab at fixing this. I will replace the rear main seal, should I replace anything else?

Thanks for the help.
