Default XJR X308 leaking oil from rear

Hey guys,

How are you doing?

I have an XJR which is leaking which i believe is engine oil.
It seems oil drips from the transmission housing?
Could be the rear main seal but there is a connector above where it's dripping what is covered in oil also.
The bolt of that connector is tight.
I don't know if that connector could leak.
Please see my video, maybe you can push me in the right direction.

Thanks

Maybe coincedence but the leak started after an oil change and it seems they filled it up with too much oil?

If you have eliminated valve cover gasket leakage there are two common sources: The rear main seal and the oil gallery plug above the rear main seal.
