Leaking rear main?

I have a leak that starts at the back of the engine and runs down the oil pan, I think its the rear main, any suggestions

if it is infact the rear main, what is the average price for getting that fixed?

TIA

Re:Leaking rear main?

there are a few other things that could be leaking and i would put them on the suspect list 1-cam plug, cant see it ill the bell houseing is removed
2 oil gally plug (same as above)
gasket on the part that holds the rear seal in.
i would start with a good cleaning 1st so as to make sure its not something simpler
