Default 02 Mustang Oil Leak.

Ok so I've had an oil leak for quite some time now, i took it to firestone and had them check it and they said it was an oil filter adapter leak. So i fixed that myself and it stopped leaking from there. Now its leaking further back, which means that wasn't the only leak. I jacked my car up earlier today to take a picture from where it looks like its coming and wanted to know if anyone knows what it might be. I have a feeling that its a rear main, but i sure hope its not.
It also leaks more when it was jacked up.

-2002 Mustang V6 3.8L, Auto.

TLDR: Does anyone know where this leak might be coming from?

If that picture is taken where the bell housing from the transmission meets the motor it could be the rear main seal. Best thing to do is clean it with some brake cleaner really well, and see where it starts to seeps from by keeping an eye on it.
