I crawled under the car to check some things out. The major concern was the oil piddles on the ground.

The engine was mostly dry and the transmission was wet. But that could just mean it was coming back from the engine so after taking the picture I went to cleaning.

The right bank of engine had some oil on it.

Are transmission leaks common? Maybe the pushrod tubes are leaking?

Clean it well then let it run whilst parked. Driving down the road will blow the oil back. After it has run a while check again. Common areas are the push tube seals which are cheap and easily replaced; valve cover gaskets, ditto; oil cooler seals; oil pressure sender; oil pressure sender. Both the oil pressure sender and oil cooler are on the right side.
