Oil leaked out while parked on incline

Hello Everyone, I parked in front of my shop which has an incline. Not a big incline maybe 5 to 7 degrees. I let it stay there for a couple of hours. When I moved on into the shop I noticed a oil leak about 2 foot long. Kind of like a tear drop.

My guess is my back main bearing seal is way bad. What do you guys think? Doesn't seem to leak much before that. A drop here and there.

If the rear main is a bit loose or just sometimes the rear will leak when the car is parked on an incline. I have installed new motors and had them leak when parked on my front lawn which is about a 6% incline.
 
How full is the crankcase ---if the level is to the top of the "F" or a little over my car leaks, if it is 1/8" below the "F" it doesn't leak on an incline ---make sure the dipstick is in all the way when you check it.

a stock engine doesn't have a rear "seal" like a modern car has, just a slinger and a drain.
 
Normal once i climb a two mile incline when stop puddle pretty good never leak again don't sweat it
