The rear main is on the end of the crank shaft. The transmission and flywheel have to be removed to service.
If it is the rear main seal that is leaking, the tranny must be separated from the engine housing.
Water can not leak from the rear main seal, only oil. Most likely there is a leaking freeze plug near the rear main seal dripping water onto it.
your main oil seal on the rear of engine is leaking or the timing cover seal is leaking,
Rear main engine seal or front transmission seals
You will have to pull the transmission out and remove the fly-wheel to inspect the rear main seal. It is a 1 piece round seal that slides over the rear of the crankshaft. If the rear main seal is leaking on that 2002, I would find that very odd.
NO... They are 2 different seals. If the transmission seal is leaking then the fluid color will be RED that's leaking. If the rear main seal is leaking then it will be oil leaking from the engine and it won't be red.
NO. You either have a rear main oil seal leaking or the back of the intake leaking oil and even could be a valve cover gasket leaking. But I would say the rear main is leaking and when the engine is running the flywheel slings oil onto the starter.

How do you change rear main oil seal in a 2000 Toyota celica gt. thanks
It could be your rear main seal or head gasket...is it coming from higher or lower. Higher could be head gasket, lower from rear main.
