Is it spraying out from driver shaft seals?

Could it be worn seals on inner driver shafts, letting oil get past and spinning it out onto the case? Oil tends to migrate everywhere, and to collect at edges, including at edges of gaskets.
My suggestion is a good hose down or visit to a do-it-yourself pressure-wash car wash for a good cleanup of the case, then keep a close eye on it, to see for sure where it's coming from, before tackling some big work.
What you describe is a rate of seepage you could live with, and if you don't like the drips, know this: A dirty-sandy tranny tends to hold onto whatever leaks out rather than dripping it on the ground. Once it has built a pretty good coat of road dust mixed with the oil, you might have no more drips.
