2002 Tahoe 4x4 5.3L. I'm pretty sure I have a slow oil leak, but I'm also thinking it may be the driveshaft... Here is a short (20 second) video. Thanks for the feedback guys.

That seems to be dripping from several points from what I see. If you just drove it prior to the video, possibly the filter was dripping bad enough for air flow to blow it around under there causing multiple drips? I just put on a K&N filter, hand tight of course as prescribed. Three days later noticed a puddle as I pulled out. I immediately put it up on ramps and it was loose way more than I ever wanted it to be. I screwed it back up to the seal point, then gave it the prescribed 1/4 to 1/2 turn, then an additional slight umph with a filter wrench just to be safe. I haven't used safety wire since I sold my sprint car but I'm back using that.
I was told was is leaking is the rear main oil seal.
I've seen some threads on other sites dealing with rear main seals. I just was pretty sure I saw three or four spots dripping like it had blown around under there when driving or something. Hope you get it nailed down.
Yes sure do. I wouldn't probably tackle that either. I don't have the tools that I used to have.Thanks, I posted a few pictures & a question on a thread relating to rear seal replacement/ leak. I would need a mechanic and want to be fully informed, so I don't get taken. You know what I mean? View attachment 62315
