Default S2 RST Oil Leak

Before I start stripping it all out, are there any obvious places to look? The rocker cover was hand tight so I tightened it up, the sump gasket & bung are ok but the leak seems to be coming from between the engine and box from the underneith but I cant see where.

Any help?

that would be the rear main oil seal leaking! gearbox off clutch and flywheel, may get away with just loosening the sump bolts abit!

The sump gasket seems alright so it looks like a strip down. I had planned to respray the bay, but not this soon. lol

Cheers for the help!
