Oil Pressure????

I've got an oil leak in back of the filter towards the trans and engine I'm wondering what would be causing it I'm kinda pressed for time so I can't really look at it myself but it does'nt seem it's dripping from the filter but a lil ways back above the filter. So if anybody could help it would be appreciated I'm takin it in the shop today to have em diagnose the problem but how much would it cost if it was like the rear main seal that would suck money....I did just change the oil and filter and have done it right but it was leaking a lil before I changed it....

could still be the oil filter re-check that, or... it could be the rear main seal. hope this isnt the situation!

It couldn't be running down from the oil sending unit could it? Either that of the back of the intake. Just a suggestion

my guess would be the filter, sender above the filter or the sender next to the distributor.
