oil leak

Oil coming off of torque converter dust shield, not sure where to start. Rear seal or rail plug on end of cylinder head? Not a major leak, just enough to frustrate me.

Look down in the valley on top the engine. If you have any leaks up there, it will run to the back of the valley and out a drain, down the back of the engine and come out of the inspection cover on the trans. Make sure it's oil and not fuel. Fuel leaks are common in the valley and by the time it runs down the back of the engine through all the grime, it will look like oil. If it is definitely oil that is leaking, look under the turbo on the pass. side and see if it's leaking around the actuator rod for the EBPV.
