Default Rear main leak?

Can this be oil from the rear main? I ask because I just had it changed when my new clutch went in. Never noticed a leak, but they said it was leaking a little. Now I have a pretty good leak since the day I got it back. It's coming down the front of the flywheel cover if that's what it's called because I wiped it clean and it leaked from up above kinda by the oil pan. Can it leak from up there or only out the hole on the bottom of the bell housing?
Seems like a big coincidence if so.
For some perspective, the oil pan is shown on the left, the bell housing on the right.

It does look like it is coming form the rear main seal. I can't thing of something else it could be from somewhere else.
