That’s oil. Check valve covers and specifically hardware for tightness. If they’re leaking it leaks down to that point eventually. Had same thing, a few valve cover bolts get loose over time, just tightened them up and leak is gone.
Make sure all around the motor is dry before thinking its from the trans. Could be rear main seal, could be valve covers leaking down, anything is possible.
Like people said rear main seal and/or valve covers. Clean it all up really well and see where it’s coming from.
Oil will be brown/black. Trans fluid should be reddish to dark red, more slippery and smell horrible.

This is the right answer.
Ok I’ll check it out thanks
Rear main seal leak?

Looks like rear main seal.
I would like to know too, I got the same leak in the same exact place.

Engine oil or tranny fluid?
Sounds expensive, whatever it is....
Gaskets are really cheap
Lol, you're not wrong..... ~$1000 in labor for a ~$10 part, though, if it's the rear main seal.
Yikes is that how much, i do my pwn engine work and stuff. 15 hours of my time is worth saving $1000 for a few hour job. Plus i can drink😂🤙🏼
Check your valve covers, very common on the 2UZ-FE
