Unhappy oil leak under engine

this week I noted an oil leak under my GK5 engine, can It be a seal (gasket) or it can be more delicate issue? any recommendation would be great, thanks

POSSIBLY it could be a rear main seal or the trans seal..round seals for shaft....not that it matters but is it engine oil or trans fluid...if you see more than a penny size drop you should get it fixed and or monitor what fluid is leaking...if its either of those seals it a big job

You might start by cleaning everything, then check it a week or two later and see if maybe you can tell its origin.

I don't know what kind of transmission you have, but the automatic (not CVT) trans in my 2013 has red fluid. The different fluid colors (engine oil vs trans fluid) can help determine the source.
