An oil leak from the bottom of the bell housing area usually means one of two things. Either the engine rear main is leaking, or the transmission front seal is leaking. Collect some of the leaking oil on a clean sheet of white paper, and compare it to both the engine oil and trans oil. Trans oil should be redish in color, while engine oil should be more tan/brown (depending on when it was last changed). Once you have determined which fluid it is, you can move on to the decision as to what you need to do about it.
