worst case scenario is that it's the end piece gasket that's leaking.
IIRC, that requires pulling the engine/transmission, separating them, removing the end plate, cleaning the mating surface, and slathering it w/ Loktite 518 before reassembling (gasket is NLA).
Landjet has good advice: Check what the fluid is with a sheet of clean paper. Dark is probably engine oil (rear seal or end seal gasket), amber is transmission oil (primary seal or primary shaft cover gasket), and clear is brake fluid.
and before you do that, make sure that the bolts securing the engine to the transmission are up to the proper torque.
To paraphrase the good doctor .... my, how many different kinds of leaks there are.
