sandbagger is on a distinguished road
very very doubtful its the rear main.... in the process of going through this right now.

my money is the right side of the oil pan gasket if its a 3.0
had chased it for a bit but its the pan gasket. Its not hard, but a PITA as there is a ton of things that have to be removed including the subframe/front diff and both axles...

Or you can cheat cut the gasket in 2 pieces and do it that way.

Took a photo of rear of engine and there was more oil there than I would like. Rear main seal? I don't notice anything dripping on the driveway.
