Default wetness near the Oil Pan?

I noticed that my there is wetness near my the rear of my oil pan near my tranny. I tried to tighten the M10 bolts near there (oil pan bolts? maybe?) but they were all tight. What does this sound like? Is there an oil pan gasket that could have gone bad? Maybe its the tranny gasket(??) and its tranny fluid? I can't really tell. Thanks

Possiblely a rear main seal or T/O bearing leak.

Would that be something I could tighten the bolts down or would it need total replace? Thanks again.

If it's either of the two things listed above, you will need to drop the tranny. The rear main seal isn't too hard to change, and they're known to leak sometimes on these cars.
