Default Oil Leak plz help

I got a 1995 Z28 and it has a pretty bad oil leak coming from the rear of the engine. and from what i read there is a good chance its one of two things rear intake or rear main. now i do not think its the rear main because my y pipe is bone dry and i do not get any smoke. so was wounder if anyone know knew a good website that might tell me how to fix this problem like a repair guide or something. im pretty good with cars ive just never worked on a camaro ever.. Hope you guys can help me,..,

Use your hand to feel behind the intake manifold where it meets the block. Feel the entire lenght. If you feel oil, then you found the leak.

no prob, just did mine today again, make sure you buy the fel pro with the silver coating, the cork ones dont work that great,i could tell i was gettin a small amout of fuel contamination on my number 8 cylinder, make sure you get the permatex ultra copper too dont go with the red stuff, and dont do that thing with the pencils that he has as a tip in the guide, since the mounting holes are on an angle it will just make it harder. i took the time to also polish up my heads and intake manifold while i was at it, as well as the TB bypass. I will finish putting all the wires, and vacum line's on tomarrow after work, should be a big improvement.
