Oil drip onto Cat

Hello all,
Its been a while since I've posted here, but I have a problem that won't quit.
I've had a slow oil leak, on my '93 Aero, for almost a year now. It is in the middle of the car, and drips onto the cat. The leak is very slow (not a problem to go 3k without adding oil) but the drip burns on the cat and makes the cabin stink and smoke roll out at red lights.
I've had the car looked over and nothing was said about the rear main seal, which has always been my suspect. So I don't know for certain where it is coming from. Fixing it aside... has anyone purchased or made a shield that I could install to deflect oil off the cat???
This would allow me to keep the leak and avoid the smoke/smell.
Thanks,
-Andy
