That is a standard Chrysler 318 engine. check for oil lines up toward the back, and check under the intake manifold. There are gaskets there that like to leak after a while.

additional info: You might also check your oil pressure sending unit which is screwed into the block in a central location under the vehicle. It has two wires going into a plastic piece which is in turn molded to the metal part that screws into the block. If the plastic part is cracked and damaged it will leak oil at that location making it appear very much like a possible rear main issue. Good luck and I hope that's the problem because its a cheap and easy fix.
