Oil Leak

How do I know if I have a rear main seal leak or just an oil pan gasket leak? I have a small amount of oil consistently leaking when I park my truck. The pattern appears to be above just the oil pan. I know I had a valve cover leak but I ficked that. Any advice would be appreciated....

It's probably the rear main seal, the two piece seal doesn't hold together as long as a one piece seal will. I recently put one in my 351M, with the engine out of the truck, and already its leaking again. I'm gonna live with mine.

Just remember: "Ford's don't leak, they mark their spot" I live with minor spotting.
