Rear Main or Oil Pan

Hey Guys, I was working on the X the other day and noticed a drip of what I'm 99% sure is oil on the lowest bolt that goes through the transmission bell housing, securing the oil pan. I can't seem to pin-point he source of the leak. From what I can see, the mating surfaces of the oil pan to the engine are all clean. But, I can't see inside the bell housing. I'll probably bring it in for an oil change soon so they can give me a full once-over. But, I thought one of you may have seen a similar issue before. If it ends up being an oil pan gasket, I guess I'll have a good project to do on a nice week this summer. What do you think?
