99 S70GLT - what is this leak?

The cover to the right (in pic) is wet with oil, but not enough to drip.
It's next to the trans torque mount.

Can someone tell me what's leaking?

Thanks.

Transmission fluid from the cover. Not hard to remove and reseal.

Watch AT trans fluid level until you get to repait

Thanks. Is there a name for that cover?

Oil sump

Clean the dirt off this and dry it off. Then check for where it leaks from. A few owners on the East coast have found the covers pin-holing with rust. Hopefully it is just the gasket failing with age.
