oil everywhere

Ok...i know my car has been leaking oil for a while now, as there is always some on the ground. I just got up under the car the other day and noticed that the entire underside of the car is covered in oil. Usually when i see it on the ground it is more than just a few drops. Motor is still running fine though. Do you guys think it is the Rear main seal. That is what i am starting to think. I don't believe it is the oil pan gasket or the rear of the intake. Any other ideas or am i going to have to replace the RMS?

I would double check the rear of the intake.

If the drops are in different spots it could be leaking from a few places.

Its kind of hard to tell if it drops in a few spots due to the fact that there is usually a small puddle on the ground maybe about the size of a softball or so when it sits.
