Need help on an Oil leak in right rear of engine

New to the forum, love it for the very informative tips and DIY. Recently purchased an 01 Boxster S, with a weird oil leak. It's coming from the right rear side of the engine between the block and the tranny. It's at the 2 or 3 o'clock position tranny bolt. The oil seems to be coming from the crevice above the bolt. Oil drips on the floor, about 2-3 inch puddle after I drive it. The bolt head behind the wire is where it's visibly dripping down onto the side of the tranny. Sorry for the bad picture, best I can do on my back with very little room for the camera. Could someone tell me where the oil is coming from. It only leaks when the engine is running and at temp.
I've replaced the air oil separator, and oil filler tube based on the initial assessment. All of these parts are dry and oil free now and I can easily take off the oil cap.
