1980 CJ7. Iron Duke 4cyl., SR4, Dana300, Dana 30 with aussie locker, AMC 20 with detroit locker and 4.88 gearing, welded and trussed axle housing, one piece axles. 33x12.5 tires
The first thing I would suggest looking at would be the rear of the valve cover for anything leaking out from it.
 
If the valve cover area is dry I would suspect rear main seal.
The missing bolt is a block drain.
I'm guessing the bolt broke and the other half is in there
If that the case leave it be.
 
What weight oil do you run? How many miles on the engine?
When was the last time you cleaned the PCV valve? Is the breather filter inside the air-filter housing clean?
RMS leaks are very common.
