oil leak

Hey guys lately i have been having trouble with my truck and now i noticed i have a decent oil leak. It is motor oil and it looks like it is running down over the transmission. I havent been able to get under there due to the rain but any ideas of what the leak could be would be great. Thanks

Its coming from the top of the engine in the valley and draining down the back of the transmission. Could be the EBPV actuator with oil coming down the trans. Also the vent is on the top of the trans. Are you sure its not transmission fluid. Just checking.....
