Hope you sort it out quickly.

I have a slight oil leak that comes out from the drain holes of the bell housing. I think that's a rear seal. it only leaks if I park it on our inclined driveway so it's not urgent that I fix it.

It was the lower oil pan gasket. I mentioned to the service advisor that I thought it might be a gasket based on info from this web site. He called me later to ask "What web site did you say? We want to check it out." I thought that was pretty cool. They gave me a loaner cuz they kept mine overnight, and also, even though the little countdown thingy was still at three greens, since the vehicle is approaching it's 1 year B-day in April, they offered to do a complete/sheduled oil change with new filter, check the brake pads for even wear, etc. I'm in love again .
