I don't know what colour gearbox oil is... But I do know what colour power steering fluid is...

If it don't rain, I'll go back under and see if I can get a bit more of a definite on the colour. Give it a clean up and monitor.
The way you just seem to pop in and out from under, you must be built like a stick. I am a bit different, Whilst not huge, I am a bit overweight, shall we say.

By Andy and Taxi Al's comments, it would seem something big has got to be removed. May be a case of living with.

Ii wish I was built like a racing snake but I ain't 😁  I used a piece of plastic to reach under then dabbed it on my finger.

Most fluids end up there Terbs. Could be anything but looks like oil. Don't discount oil blowing back from engine sump. Might need washing off with brake or carb cleaner and see where it develops from.

If there oil in the bell housing, might be rear crank seal if engine oil, or red/brown atf would be box oil seal.

But seen worse tbh . I wouldn't worry too much. They all do that sir, to an extent.

PAS fluid (often) is automatic gearbox oil They both start out life red, PAS tends to stay red and gearboxes slowly go brown as they age (and smell like death)
