oil leak help

[divot]

I own a 2003 exp. with 70k. it has developed a severe oil leak. which i though was rear main seal. I have replaced the seal with the upgraded seal w/ wear sleave twice in two months. something is still leaking oil between trans. and engine. I am not convinced it is rear main. could i be overlooking something simple. there is no oil anywhere else on the engine. it drips out between trans and engine. And it is oil not trans fluid. I have also replaced valve cover and plenum gaskets. Please help. I do not want too remove this engine AGAIN unless i know it's not going to leak. Thanks so much.

sounds like rear seal to me, but try some after market seal seal from the auto store first before you go ripping into that fix, the seal is about 3 bucks but the labor is nasty, I had a ford mustang that had a rear seal leak and put somne seal seal in the oil about 500 miles it stopped, that was the only time I used it about 10 years ago, hope this helps..
