UPDATE!!!!!

I jacked her up tonight, cleaned the are of the leak and finally found the crack. It's about 2-2.5 inches long, it looks like a hairline fracture but it seeps out quickly. Plans are to drain the tranny, clean the area really well and attempt to JB weld it, I've used the stuff before with success. Maybe it will cut down on the leaking, or temporarily stop it. We will see.... I'll take a picture of the crack for you guys tomorrow. Worst case scenario the JB weld does nothing and I pull it apart and replace the piece.

Does anyone know that that's called? It's what I took pics of, right behing the transmission.....
