Well, I got up this morning to start the install of my timing belt, pulleys and tensioner. Took the car to the store then home again. About two hours later I pulled my car around to my garage and proceeded to jack it up. While looking under I saw what looked like transmission fluid. And after further investigation it is. A huge puddle was under my car. About 1.5 feet across (In gravel too.). It is coming from the bottom most mid section of the transmission. I have no clue right now what it is.
Any ideas of what to look for would be great. Seal in the drive shaft?
***UPDATE***
The fluid is leaking from one side only. The side that faces the support. Now from what I saw there is no fluid on the front axles. But the is a high concentration from that little area there. When I moved the car I got a steady drip for about 5 minutes. But it stops soon after. Has to be a seal of some sort I hope.
Here is a picture of what I have on my hands:
