Oil Leak!

So I've got a mysterious oil leak coming from the rear of the engine. Definitely engine oil, not transmission fluid. It's definitely not the drain plug, and it's not coming from the oil filter. Possibly a leak from the oil pan itself? What else back there could be leaking? It's definitely enough to leave some decently-sized spots on the garage floor. I'm relatively new to the RX-7 so I'm not yet familiar with the problem sports.
