seems to be coming from where the engine meets the transmission - figure this is a rear seal - is there a way to know for sure?

if it is, how is the seal replaced? - engine in car or does the engine need to come out?

thanks

There are many places back there than can leak , 2 screw in plugs for the main galleys , the rear cam plug and the rear main seal. If I remember right this is a survivor , if it is and the engine is still factory original AND it's the rear main seal it's a ROPE SEAL , you will be pulling the engine to replace that .

Also don't discount GRAVITY , hemis can leak in a bunch of places above the bellhousing ... so I've read on the internet ... and gravity does it's thing.
