probably either your oil pan gasket or rear main oil seal. But maybe also your valve cover gaskets. does it smell like burnt oil after driving it?

Well if it is either of the two (pan or rear main), it is enough work that you may as well do both. Trans needs to be removed for rear main and I believe engine has to be jacked up to replace the pan gasket. The gaskets/seals are cheap.

Or just leave it alone if it is not leaking too bad.
