Default Oil leak on 2002 CRV

I'm new to this site, but have owned Hondas for 32 years and done most of my own repairs on each one I have owned. I have a 2002 CRV that has some kind of oil leak I am trying to track down. I suspected it was the oil seal to the transmission where the intermediate driveaxle inserts, but I replaced that seal and there is still a leak. It could be coming from something above that seal and is dripping down so it looks like it's coming from the seal. I can see what looks like a heat shield directly above there, but can't tell what could be leaking. I'm only 5'2", so working on this vehicle from the top side of the engine is tricky. Any ideas on what could be leaking in that area besides the transmission seal? I might have to break down and take it in.

Could be the V-TEC solinoid which is triggered from oil pressure. Had mine replaced and it helped, also had another oil-pressure-related sensor replaced. That helped too, but, like you, I still have oil leak.
