Remove the inspection cover in the bell housing and see if there is transmission fluid in there

its your truck my man, you will need to get in there and look. that little pic gives us about as much info as i gave you.

leaks follow gravity, get under there and start following the leak up with a flashlight till it its dry. you will have to determind what fluid it is, where its coming from and then take a pic of said part its leaking from. we can identify that part from there.

Then we would know it's coming from the trans not the engine.

We are only trying to give you good information on your issue, but before we do that you have to help us help you.
