Could be, but it could also be valve cover seepage working its way down. It could be leaking at the rear of the intake manifold and running down too. If you've got a couple of drops per minute, you'd better get to the bottom of it asap. If it's just some seepage, I wouldn't worry too much about it till rebuild time.

After time, the crankshaft can get a groove worn into it at the rear main seal. The sleeve fits over the damaged portion of the crankshaft and provides a fresh smooth surface for a new seal to ride on. Should seal better if that is the problem. Rear seal leakage is common.
