Angry oil/trans leak '67 88

I just noticed today that my olds is leaking oil and trans fluid on the driveway. I hate to confirm what i suspect but who thinks it's a rear main seal?

It could be a few things, but first you need to confirm if it's oil or trans fluid. Lay some cardboard under the car to narrow down where the droplets are coming from. I'd check valve covers and intake front or rear seals.

It can be easier to identify the fluid if caught in or on aluminum.

Maybe aluminum foil laid on top of the cardboard ?
