Finally got my 1986 ranger done enough to drive around town today, I just swapped in a M5OD-R1 and did the rear main seal while the old trans was out a year ago. Driving around town I didn't notice a leak but I parked on a steep 6ft pile of dirt to get some photos and after sitting for a few minutes I noticed a decent amount of oil on the dirt under the truck. It was leaking out of the gap between the engine and the bellhousing, Is this a rear main seal leak or could it be something else? I'm just confused because it only leaked when parked uphill. Thanks in advance to anyone that responds!

Rear main or pan gasket would be my guess
