Yeah, clean the engine off real well with some simple green and see where the leak is originating from. Is there any oil in the engine valley? Any leak on top of the engine ends up draining down the weep hole past the bell housing area/between the tranny & engine.
Like stated above some common culprits are:
HPOP rings
pedestal O-rings
oil build up from CCV leaking out the boots
