Mystery oil leak

[Aregularmoron69]

I bought a 2002 subaru forester as my first car and it has a slow oil leak coming from the lower back part of the motor. I have a photo of it so if Anyone knows where the leak is coming from it would be a great help. For some background my motor was rebuilt and only has 20k on it

If its coming from the rear of the engine, its probably the rear main seal. It was probably pinched during rebuild.
