Oil leak of some sort, not sure what

Hey everyone. Not sure where this oil is coming from or what it is really. My first thought was transmission fluid, but I can't pinpoint it. It seems to come down from somewhere up between the transmission and oil pan but that's all I can tell. I read that MTF has a distinct sulfur smell (does it always?), but this oil does not. And I don't think it's engine oil because it seems really clean.

Maybe a more experienced person may be able to shed some light on this for me. I'm pretty much new to all of this, so I'm learning as I encounter stuff. I'll attach some pics I took with my phone. Thanks!

Trans fluid is red, what color are your leaking and even of really dirty it will turn maroon but will still look red compared to motor oil.
