Default Terrible luck.... Core plug?

So despite me treating the car nicely it still persists to hate me for some reason? I had to have it recovered on Sunday after a calliper ceased, I fixed the brakes after this I moved the car and realised it's leaking oil

I got under it tonight to try and locate the leak, there was oil everywhere! I gave everything a good clean, ran the engine up and got back under it to watch for leaks, there wasn't anything until I turned the engine off and oil started appearing from the hole between the engine and transmission, it wasn't gushing it was more of a trickle.

Is this the dreaded core plug issue? Or does it sound more like crank seal?

What's the best way to tackle this on a 2003 S60 Auto? Engine and box straight out the top? Will the engine come out this way on an S60 with box attached?

Thanks for any help and guidance in these dark times
