Default Where is this oil leak coming from?

I can't tell if it is the rear main or just the pan gasket. It seems to be coming from a little rectangular hole, about big enough to put the end of a q-tip in, that is at the bottom of the trans right next to the engine pan at the spot where the two meet.

I would like to tear into this today to find out what parts to order, but I haven't gotten the dvd-rom with all the schematics yet. Sorry if this is a pita, I know I should get the f.m. before I start bothering you guys. I just have time today to work and that is a rare occurence. Thanks alot

Most likely the rear main seal. But also make sure the rear cam seals aren't leaking then down through the crank sensor hole down to the bottom.
