Leaking transmisson fluid
Went to change my oil and i noticed the bottom of my bell housing has transmission fluid on it there is a round rubber piece under there that i removed to see if i could tighten something up but when i removed the rubber piece there is nothing there just a small view of the flywheel. Anybody have any idea where its comming from. When i put my finger inside the hole where i removed the rubber piece there is oil inside of there. Any info Would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming automatic tranny (manuals are using tranny fluid now also), through that round hole you should see the torque converter and if lined up properly, the drain plug. If recently serviced, make sure it is not stripped, and per Haynes manual, torque to 18-20 ft-lbs. When replacing dust plug, it can be sealed with clear silicone as recommended in a tsb.
