Default Oil Leak help please?

My my94 wrx wagon is leaking oil, more than just a few drips!,i am going to get it up on ramps tomorrow to see where from and to get some pics to post on here for you knowledgeable chaps on here, it is leaking from the back of the engine somewhere, oil is on the back of the sump and on the passenger side cross member (i think thats what its called) but my question is- if it was a rear crank or main oil seal would i have problems with the clutch slipping or not working correctly?? could it be cam cover seal??
any help appreciated thanks

If its from the centre/rear of engine then it'l probably be the seal plate or rear crank seal on crankcase (gearbox off job), if its from left/right cross member/subframe then its most probably rocker gaskets. Both common problems, both my p1 rockers leak.
