Default Oil leak!!!

well as i was checking fluids today i noticed my car was low on oil...about 1 qt. also i noticed some oil build up on my garage floor and droplets (fresh clean oil) formed on the tranny where the case and bell housing meet. upon further inspection i see where it "looks" like it might be coming from....axle seals! but what would explain the loss in engine oil. rear main seal? or is this signs of something worse?

PCV valves? Head gasket, clean your engine bay and see where it comes out.

all those are clean no signs of leaks. only comes out from the bottom. only place it seems to be exiting from is tha axle seal or maybe flywheel area.

check your oil pan gasket. sounds similiar to my leak that ended up being the oil pan gasket.
