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) |

100%, without a doubt, no debate, you have a leak on your rear main seal. A common wear item. If it was the transmission seal, you would see the fluid follow the path of the bell housing, not on the engine case.
