Unhappy Oil Leak/Drip D16Y8

I have a small Oil drip on my civic. I am trying to figure out if its the Rear Main Seal, but I just had it replaced along with the clutch
I've been told it might be Oil pan?

If the main seal was just done (and done correctly) then I would assume, by looking at that picture, it could be the oil pan gasket that is leaking. Check to make sure all the oil pan bolts are properly torqued.

try to find the highest point where the oil starts to drin/build that will give you you answer.
I work a jiffy lube right now and I see a ton of hondas with way more oil drips...good luck

when checking your oil pan bolts DO NOT overtighten because they will snap. They are only supposed to be torqued to 8 or 9 ft/lbs or something low like that.

Thanks for the Advice guys, I will check the oil pan. I had the shop take a look at it, said it "Might" be the oil pan, but I dont expect them to say its the rear main seal, since they did change it.
I have a bad feeling they fudged something.

Get back into that Garage and make them re-do their work. tell them it wasn't there before, so fix it. Otherwise it'll be too late and you'll hate yourself
