Rear main seal and transmission input shaft seals are very labor intensive and could cause the oil to be slung around the bell housing if it hits the flywheel. If its the valve cover gasket that's not too bad, so hopefully that's your issue. Also, some seepage from the rear main seal is not uncommon.
FYI - there is no gasket between the transmission and the engine.
