If it is engine oil it could be running down from the top and making it look
like its the rear engine oil seal. The cam sensor o-ring or the head gasket
may be the problem, Has the head gasket been updated with the new
Multi-Layer Steel one yet?

I would ask the technician to do an oil dye test to be 100% sure its the
rear seal.
