My eyes suck to see that small of a pic, where does it appear to be coming from?

right from the oil pan ... housing I am not sure really.
the back of the pic (left) is the drain plug for the oil.

Rear main seal?

You need to look at the rear of the eng. at the top and see if the valvecover or headgskt is leaking if not , poss. rear main seal or oil pan leaking !!! Which suck's to replace and will cost you !!! :banghead:

It looks like engine oil... I'd say RMS to... but it could be the FMS on the trans... If your trans oil is that color thought, you have bigger problems........

it is just that one bolt on the rear main seal... is it possible that, the next time I change my oil I can take off that one bolt and then rtv the doo doo out of it to make it stoP?

nope, the RMS sits higher. It seal the end of the crankshaft. You have to drop the trans in order to fix it if it is a RMS
