Rear main is pretty unlikely - more likely the oil pressure sender or valve cover gasket. Pressure sender is above the starter next to the PCV box... need to clean everything sparkly and watch where the oil comes from. There is a leak-detection additive that can be put in the oil, it will fluoresce under ultraviolet light.
Rear seal will be VERY expensive. Think engine-out labour to replace the $20 seal.
I'd to the 3x drain/fill before a power flush, especially if the fluid hasn't been touched in 60k.
Outside edge is not normally a camber problem. In fact, tires can stand a ton of negative camber as long as toe is OK. My theory is that people see the camber, and think that's the problem, whereas it's bad toe that kills the tires. Get the alignment checked.
