Question Re: Do I panic? - Rear main oil leak.

Everything mechanical fails eventually, sometimes sooner or later.
Now my question is, is the car okay to drive, or should I wait until I can have things checked out?

I checked the oil and it is still full. However, the dipstick felt different like there is something in the bottom of the pan that wasn't there before. Or am I imagining things?
