Oil dripping from bell housing

["John Hofstetter" <hofs@domain.elided>]

Kevin,
Leaking rear seal on the motor. Can be replaced without removing the
crank, but it is not easy. 
Be aware that many many leaks attributed to coming from such and such
a place really come down from the valve covers and only look as if
they originate somewhere else.

I've never torn down an engine or transmission like a lo of you out
there have so I'm still kind of green when it comes to
auto-mechanics...My wife was running the engine on the Scout the other
day and I noticed there was oil leaking from the bell housing. I was
leaking about 3 drops per minute so after about 20 minutes of running
it
there was a pretty good sized puddle underneath. What should I be
looking for??
