Rear main seal more than likely.
Also from the looks of the picture there is oil allover the area. Leaks from above can work down the casings to those areas and mimic leaks from that area. First you need to get a few can of Brake parts cleaner and rinse off everything to be able to pinpoint that or other issues when new oil appears. Could be valve cover, cam sensor seal and so on leaking downward.
After that try Blue Devil Rear main sealer additive next oil change along with 5w-40 full synthetic vs 5w-30 which I assume you are using. If it doesn't stop within 1500-2000 miles then you will need a rear main seal replacement if no other leaks are found from area rinse off.
Monitor oil/ATF levels as suggested.
