So this isn’t good, right?

Crawling around for the first real time under the Yuke just now and found a LOT of fluid. Oil level is perfect. Haven’t checked trans yet.

No, not really. Could be a few things like oil pan gasket. Worst is leaking rear main seal because transmission has to be removed...:-(

Tans looks like it is WAY over full. Pictured is engine cold and running.

Yes it looks overfull.
Tranny has a vent hose. It will be wet near its exit.
Tranny fluid (atf) it suppose to be red.
I don't think tranny fluid (atf) coming out its vent hose would be that high up or that far forward.
You probably have multiple leaks.

VLOM, valve covers, oil pan, rear main, oil cooler plate. I would start at the top and work your way down. Try to get a light and take pics of the rear top of the motor for a leaking VLOM.

@Writefast It's certainly not a new vehicle but if it's not leaving puddles on the ground I wouldn't worry about it.

Could just be valve cover gaskets, there isn't really anything above the starter other than the valve covers.

So the top side on both sides is dry. Pic one. Pic two. There is a bolt, a tiny white dot dead center that pic, that is wet.

A "lot" of oil would be a puddle on the ground to me. Could this be the oil cooler plate maybe?

Thing is oil level is and has been consistent. I’m thinking it’s dirty trans fluid but I’m also a stupid monkey. lol.

And an aside. Should my, what I think is the flywheel, be exposed to the elements like that?
