Weird leak
Okay so the other day I back my truck outta the garage and left for work, when I came home there was oil/trans fluid leaking form an unknown location. Today I checked it out and it seems to be leaking where the trans and engine meet by the crank. I have no idea what cud be causing this.... Btw I can't tell if it oil or just dirty trans fluid.

Remove the trans inspection cover/gravel shield and look up at the back of the bellhousing. Oily? Then it could be a front pump seal.
On the other hand, I'm betting on bad oil pan seal or.... a rear main bearing seal. The latter is not fun.
Oh.. it could also be the rear China wall that is leaking and disguising itself as something worse. What is a China wall? It's fore and aft walls of the lifter valley.
