Could be the rear main seal. That's where mine is coming from. Your gonna have to jack the car up and figure out where it's coming from. Check to see if it is coming down the side of the engine or from between the engine and tranny. If it's coming from the side, it could be a head gasket. If it's coming from between the engine and tranny, it could be your rear main.
