Rear oil leak

Hi guys,

I have 2 oil leaks. one in the fron and one in the rear. the front is most likely the main seal. I'll take care of that later.

But I have no idea where the rear one is leaking. The oil is running down the cylinder bank below the #1 cylinder on the passenger side of the block. It actually looks like it's coming from the headgasket (head is dry, block looks wet), but a headgasket leaking oil sounds odd to me.

My cam housing was resealed a couple of months ago. Could this be a rear main seal?

Any clues?
