Leaky Something...?
So my car has recently decided to leak something from the base of the transmission. Its yellow and smells like brake fluid, but I can't find a leak in that system. I took some pictures and it looks like it MIGHT be the axle seal, but the entire area is dry except where its dripping from. This will likely put my road trip plans in doubt. Any thoughts? Please help!

Yellow and smells like brake fluid = Slave cylinder or related line.
Check the coupler underneath the oil cooler to see if its leaking there. Its a right-angle elbow with the bleeder fitting on it. A pain to reach unless the car is on a lift. If its not leaking at that fitting then its either the slave cylinder or the line to it inside the bellhousing.
