I have a better picture but it's 600K, which is too large to upload. Can I email it to you? The leak is on the top of the engine near where the engine and the transmission connect so my first thought was that its the rear main seal; however, I have no leakage on the bottom, so I'm confused. It's on the right hand side of the engine block near the rear of the engine block.

Can you describe how to identify a RMS leak? That might help...

Thanks,
-Steve
