Unhappy uh-oh....oil leak?????

there's a small amount of engine oil leaking from the back of the engine somewhere above the trannsmission. i think it might be the intake leaking, but i'm not sure. anyone have any thoughts or similar problems?

I just had the rear and front seals replaced this week on my 97 ss z28, and its still leaking oil! I guess maybe its the intake this time, or they did a bad job on the seals.

yeah i thought maybe that was the problem, but i was looking under the car for about 20 minutes trying to get the mirror in the right spot and my best guess would be the intake, although i'm not 100% certain. they sure do pack those engines tight....

The intake oil leak is a very common ailment of the LT1, the intake was done on my car just last year..
