Oil Leaking from Manual Transmission Vent?

[prodigyxx]

My 03 Jeep Wrangler has been leaking a bit of oil the past few days. (At least I think it is oil). But it seems that it is coming from the Manual Transmission Vent behind the Oil pan. I want to change my oil but am holding off until I can find out what this is coming from.

Would anyone be able to confirm if it is Oil & what may be the reason it is leaking? Thank you!

That could very well be engine oil leaking from the rear main seal. I doubt it's coming from the vent on top of the transmission since there's an extended vent hose attached to it.

My bet would be the valve cover gasket leaking in the back.

My bet would be the valve cover gasket leaking in the back.

That's another good possibility.
