leaking oil from bell housing
So I have an oil leak from the back of my motor. I thought the oil pan didn't seal correctly when I put in the new motor. It turns out that isn't the problem. Im %90 sure its leaking from the bell housing. I'm also %100 percent sure its not the rear main seal. I just had the oil pressure switch changed because it was leaking from there too. Is there a plug or anything else that could leak from the back of the engine? My mechanic is going to drop the trans and run it like that to see where its leaking but I wanna figure it out before he has to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced. Oh yeah its a 99 ranger sport 3.0 5spd 4x4

every motor i've seen leaking with it dripping down the bell housing was the rear main seal, my dads, exploder's 4.0 is new as well and after about a month or sow it was already leaking out the rear main seal, just saying, might was well go ahead and replace the pcv valve and see if that fixes it though, cheeper than a shop dropping the trans
