Trans fluid drops out of the dust cover weep hole?

I am still chasing a small leak that is only 1-2 drops a week after driving.

I think I may have narrowed down the source of my small leak. During my last oil change I didn’t add UV dye to the engine oil, but there was still dye in the transmission fluid. I’m seeing some green residue and wetness around the transmission pan. What I don’t understand is how transmission fluid could make its way from the pan area into the dust shield and then drip out of the weep hole. Is there a path where fluid could migrate like that? The flywheel is dry and it isn't slinging fluid and I think if it was the front pump seal it would be a lot more fluid.

Freedom isn't safe, it requires you to take responsibility for your own life, your own safety, and your own success. It carries with it the possibility of failure and the understanding that you're working without out a safety net. If you give the state the responsibility for any of these you also give up the freedom that accompanies the responsibility.
