If engine oil is pouring out when running like you say, and it's coming from between the trans and engine, then it got to be the rear main seal. There is no difference between an 96-97 seal. The seals if new don't really fail, they are normally installed incorrectly. It's easy to roll the lip on those seals when installing.
