In your opinion....oil pan gasket or rear main seal

Finally identified the area of my oil leak...pulled the trans flex plate and wiped oil pan and everything down....then watched the garage floor for couple days. I have small oil drip EITHER from the rear main OR the rear oil pan lip/gasket area(just below the rear main seal). Before going any further dropping the oil pan or even more fun sliding trans/transfer case back, I thought I would check with the experts on here for any visual tips in determining the source. btw I have check oil sending and rear intake gasket area. The pan and one piece gasket was replaced just recently...so I'm leaning towards rear main, but it's such a small leak (fifty cent piece size spot on garage floor after two days...i thought rear main seal would leak much more when they go) I don't know if the rear main seal is the culprit or whether oil pan gasket at the rear hump isn't sealing 100%....Any suggestions? Thanks Guys!!
