Default Rear transmission leak

Hey all. When doing my header install i see that my driveshaft tunnel and torque arm are coated with some oil. There is a little bit of trans fluid coming off the front joint of the driveshaft. It isn't leaking much, I check the fluid on a regular basis and it never moves. It just gets flopped around the driveshaft tunnel when its spinning. I'm sure this is just some kind of a seal or bushing, but can anyone tell me which one and how easy it is to fix without looking at it? Car has the 4l60.

Thanks!

It's the rear transmission seal. Easy fix just drain the fluid, pull the driveshaft off, then pull the old seal out. Install the new seal, then driveshaft, and fill with fluid.

yep! and make sure you lubricate the new seal with some tranny fluid before you put the driveshaft back on.
