Sounds like transmission fluid. It's the right colour.

If the fluid is indeed leaking from inside the bellhousing then it will be gearbox out job to sort, best to clean away as much oil as you can to be sure where it's coming from. Brake cleaner is good for this as it will evaporate and leave the area dry
