Where else would the leak be on the back of the engine?  I sure hope it is not the seam between the case halves.  The 1.9 engine in our van is a low miles rebuild and has had a small leak from day one.  The leak apears to be getting worse.  The oil originally appeared near the drain plug.  After a run on the highway oil drips off the engine carrier.

  After you get to it, it's not hard to replace.
  Can't say I've ever seen a leaky one particlarily though, but it's sure something to consider.
