Help, engine leaking 1983 1.5 CL

Hello, (sorry for my english, It isn't my first language)

I hope some of you fellas could help my acces the problem, just yesterday i noticed a little drop of oil on the driveway undernead my car, after some investigation, laying under the car and looking , i found out i came from here ( see picture.)

I think it is a seal from the gearbox to the engine, what do you guys think, and how much work do you think it is gonna cost me to fix it?

Forward thanks.

I think you will find the leak is from somewhere else and the oil is working its way down there. It's not a common place for oil leaks, give the area a clean and see if you can see oil dripping from somewhere else.
I've had the same thing as you and the oil leak was at the front of the engine, coming from the dissy and working it self down to the lowest point between the engine and gearbox.
Have you got the car up in the air and had a good look behind the engine?

Will ditto….

Will add, oil pan gasket bad or bolts loose, the rear two bolts on that pan between the Tranny and the engine are very easy to STRIP.

Lastly would be the rear crank seal, but you might as well install a new clutch at the same time.
