there's a drip coming from in between the block and bellhousing. so first thing i thought was its the rear main. but it smells like tranny fluid, which has a pretty distinct smell. another thing is when i check my oil its clean as can be on the dipstick since there's only 100 miles on my motor. but the drips are really dirty so i'm a bit confused as to whether its oil or tranny fluid. i know i'll have to pull the tranny which ever it ends up being but just wanted to see if anyone could give some insight.

So you're auto then? Notice any changes with how the tranny performs while driving? If somehow your convertor was busted and leaking you'd begin to notice.
