99 2.5 Boxster - Oil leak back right hand side, above muffler

Hello, I've got a 99 Boxster base (2.5) that has an oil leak at the back right side, near the inner passenger tire. Appears to be coming from above the muffler, pictures below. I've recently replaced the spark plug tubes and I still have the leak. Any guesses on what this could be?

It looks like your transmission mount is leaking. They don't have a lot of fluid in them. Clean it up and see if the leak has stopped (no more fluid left).

My 97 had this exact same leaking a few weeks ago, likely your transmission mounts. After looking through the forums, i decided to purchase replacement motor and transmission mounts from PRG Products. I figured getting a mild poly bushing that wouldn't fail again was worth the minimal increase in NVH. Haven't gotten around to installing them, but there are videos on youtube for it.
