This gap is at the front of the transmission where it mates with the engine (as seen from below).
Does it have a name? Am I missing a plug for this hole? Any ideas why it would be dripping fluid? Please advise. Thanks! Attached image(s) |

Please advise. Thanks! Are you actually getting a drip of fluid on the ground or are you just observing the blackness on the case below the hole? If there is nothing on the ground under the car I wouldn't worry about it, above that hole is your clutch so there will always be some level of black dust existing there. If you are getting liquid on the ground then its either the trany or engine seal there. |

Not 'leaking' nor leaving a puddle ... more like 'dripping' a few drops ... noticed after I started to clean the undercarriage ... not terribly concerned yet as it may be left over gunk ) |
