I'm putting in a new clutch and powerflex bushings.  Once I got the subframe off I noticed oil residue on the front of the engine.  I can't tell where it's from, it looks like some is oozing from the dipstick.  Could it be the oil pan gasket?  I thought about changing that also since it seems to sometimes be an issue and I have access to it.  In the bentley it mentions oil underneath if there is a rear main seal leak.  Could this be a rear main?  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.

Looks like its from the crank position sensor.  Common leak, cheap o-ring replacement.  PITA to get to.
