You're being reeeeally vague. We can't help you without more info.

Is it leaking from the rear main seal area?
Is it physically leaking oil, or is your level just dropping?
Is your oil pan wet?
Is your axle wet?
ECT.....wet?

Your best bet is to look above, and in front of all the oily parts because driving conditions will pull it down and fling it back.

Just get under your car and look. That's the only way to know exactly what's going on.

Other than that, we can just make a huge list of parts that are capable of leaking oil, but that won't help you at all.

It would help if you could get some degreaser and kinda clean around the tranny/block fairly well... then run it for a lil bit and see where it is leaking about how much is it leaking like a quart a week every 2 weeks ? a few drops here and there?

check the oil switch by your oil pan. In my last car it leaked like crazy around that area.
