Rear main seal leak?

Rear main seal leak?
Ok now that I have my ‘05 MCS pretty much all done I have one stinking oil leak and it’s coming out where the oil pan bolts to the trans. So I have replaced all the gaskets including the oil pan and when I had it off you have that small gap where you can look into the bell housing well it looked pretty grimy. So I sprayed brake clean in there just to get the majority out. Well since it’s been together about a month I have drops of oil leaking and it’s coming out out of the shift linkage enters the trans housing and running down and dripping off. It’s also wet where the seem is between the oil pan and trans but what I’ve read is if the rear main seal is leaking your clutch will start to slip and mine hasn’t slipped at all so could it still be the rear main seal or could I have not got the pan gasket on correctly? I used the FelPro blue gasket where you apply it dry. I have to do something because it’s driving me nuts! I wipe the pan off once a week.
