First determine what type of fluid it is. It's most likely oil and most likely the rear engine seal. Second possibility is transmission fluid, and that would probably be a leak around the front of the transmission.
Are you sure it is coming from between the engine and bellhousing? Leaked fluids get slung all over and the bottom of the bellhousing is a low point that can catch a lot of stuff that might have otherwise ended up on the ground.
There should be an inspection plate on the front/bottom of the bellhousing that you can remove to look inside.

I wasn't trying to be mean just pointing it out. Reading the whole post is important. I think that's how a lot of bad info gets spread around.
Just to add some info I've had bad valve cover gaskets leak enough to drop oil around the bell housing area. So be sure to check every where around the back of the engine for leaks.

Also take a look at the valve cover gaskets. I had the passengers side leaking at the rear corner and running down the back of the block. I had initially thought it was a rear main. Valve cover seal was hard as a rock.
