Diagnosing an RMS oil leak

I have a '99 Boxster with 49k where I just started seeing a few drops of oil under the engine. Nothing to be too concerned about, but I was wondering if this could be an RMS leak. What are the the signs of an RMS leak, and if it's only a few drops, should I even be concerned until it gets worse?

If its a rear main seal, it will drip from the back of the engine near the trans bell housing. I would fix it the new seals seem not to leak like the first design did. Where are you in the country? Find a good independent shop to do it over the dealer you will save some $$
