I got a big oil leak from the area of the engine where the transmission and the engine come together. I have not fully looked into this leak yet but if its the oil pan gasket I can take care of that with no problems but if its not the gasket would it be the rear main seal the oil is leaking from. this leak left a good sized puddle on my garage floor. also there is a small leak that seems to be coming from the crank pulley area and when I looked behind the pulley from underneath the car I could see oil droplets forming behind it so do I need a new crank seal?

actually clean the engine to get a definitive area he the leak is . if it's the rear main then the trans has to comeo out cold be ahead gasket too though. and if it leaks at crank seal replace it.
