Default Stumped...my rear main problem has returned...

Well after replacing my rear main seal a month ago (read here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=845146 ) the problem has returned. Visible oil building up in the clutch housing and dripping out of the bottom. Rear main seal was replaced, the input shaft seal in the transmission was inspected, axle seals are fine....I really don't know where to look from here

try to look on the the bellhousing seal. It will look like it's leaking from the clutch area but it really isn't. Put some die into the tranny then if it won't be green you can rule out the tranny. But I've seen the oil dripping on my friends car straight from clutch area, then after closer inspection I found out that it was a bellhousing/tranny seal right by the starter area.

It's not, I removed the dust cover from the clutch fork and saw that the inside of the bell housing was covered in oil. There was oil also coming from the starter hole as well.
