I have a 95 ply neon with a oil leak. It leaves a large puddle on the
floor.It has oil on top of the transaxle and it also looks like it is
leaking from the bell housing,this is a manual transaxle. I'am not sure
if it is the head gasket or the rear main seal.Would a head gasket leak
this much ? The car has 106,000 miles on it.It's been a great little
car first problem I have ever had.

Going by the experience of so many on that particular model, the head
gasket would definitely be my first suspision. Wash it down and see
where the oil comes from first.

Dale you can bet if the head gasket was not replaced with the new updated
multi-layered gasket that your leak is the head. yes it will leak all over
the trans, the cam shaft sensor o-ring going bad will also do that and yes,
if you have a rear main leak it will do that also.
my advise to you is if you cant get under it to see the oil pouring out,
have an oil dye test done on it. It will show all leaks.
