Default Transmission Fluid Leak

Hello,
I've had a small transmission leak over the last few weeks that has become progressively worse. I have isolated the location and wondering if anyone has dealt with any leaks in these areas - Inspection cover on the torque converter and gearbox ( I will attach a picture) Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Bart

I'd say the seal behind the torque converter.

That's what I suspected! I'll give the sealant a try and go from there. Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Bart

Are you sure it's transmission fluid?
Not engine oil? Rear main seal, or intake manifold leaking out the back and running down.

I'm colorblind(really), so I had to ask.
If it were leaking on my truck, I could tell by texture and smell, even color...just not from a picture.
Oil drips from the same spot too.

@Sixpack577 It sure does as I found out when my rear main started to leak and because I can not drop a transmission it cost a lot too.

Colorblind must make electrical work "interesting" sorry if I offended

Ha! offended...no sir, not I, it's Hard to hurt my feelings, but thanks.
And yes, electrical is"fun". I try to go pin to pin on diagrams and take color out of it all together, but have been suprised several times over the years when the wrong color is in the wrong location, and from the factory.
I always have a friend work on that stuff with me to make sure I'm right.
I've learned not to trust just the color or the diagram, but to try and verify both.
