are you even sure it's oil?
have you looked at it on a white coffee filter to see the real color? - tasted it?
it could also be coolant (sweet tasting) or transmission fluid or power steering fluid (both red or reddish brown or purple)

Kinda Difficult to tell whats what from the pictures due to the close proximity of the shots. The first and last pictures, is that the Shaft coupler just behind the Transmission?

IIRC the only seal in that area is the transmission rear oil seal, if the leaking liquid looks a red/brown color it would confirm this to be the cause.
Seal is on far right in diagram.

you still need to verify if it is transmission fluid or P/S fluid (also trans. fluid) or oil, get some on a white coffee filter and look at in under good light
