Hey Guys, Bought my first Corvette about 6 months ago ('09 C6 Z51 6-spd). I replaced the valve cover gaskets when I first bought it as they were leaking badly down the sides of the engine. Cleaned everything up and it was all dry until about a couple weeks ago, I noticed some drips on the floor coming from the oil pan area. Checked the valve covers and they looked dry, so the culprits I can think of are either the oil pan gasket or rear main seal.

Drips are forming mainly where the oil pan bolt is (seen in second picture). I haven't gotten in for an oil change recently either. Wonder if anyone has experienced any similar symptoms?

Appreciate you all!
