Default Small leak from rear of tranny ....

I got under my car the other day to change the oil and noticed that there was a little tranny fluid that had blown back and was on my torque arm and other things from driving and that if my car sits more than 2 days , there will be one drop on the ground.....Rear input shaft seal where the DS goes into the tranny is dry as a bone so i know its not that....Cleaned everything up with simple green and got up under there this morning and it is a little wet on the bottom rear part of the tranny right below the drain plug where there is 2 black bolts, looks like it is slowly seaping where the seam is, but it is only on the bottom because i ran my hand up the seam and it is bone dry also....What can i do, tranny just came out about 4 months ago to get rebuilt, anything i can do to reseal it without pulling the tranny all the way out ? Please help guys

Mine was coming from "no where" and actually turned out it was the rear seal. But not sure about your case.

if your going to change the seal please do yourself a favor and buy a GM seal my local dealership got one for me for like 10 bucks i think and it was twice as good as the one from Autozone (timkin) or Orielly's (national) i also didn't think the seal was hard to replace
