Default oil leak from front of trans area?!

Hey all,
Well as the headline says it smells and looks like oil but looks as if it is coming from the back of the motor or the front of the trans, now i have yet to actually get under the car but that is the place it seems.
It drips down right on the brace that is near the oil drain plug but further away to look as if it the trans...Anything back there that would do that?

I will lift her later and check the actual area and try to get some pics.

Rear main seal. It's where your crankshaft and transmission connect. Gotta pull the trans to fix it.
