Transmission leak

Rear seal in the tranny may be seeping a little bit .. but ... It looks more to me like of that mess is from a fuel line or some other leak. .. otherwise, why would everything be soaked so far forward of the rear main seal of the tranny?

(just some guesses)...
Looks more like maybe a fuel line leaking above the tranny where it goes over the top of the tranny ... or more-so, the back of the engine where the flywheel housing gasket meets the back of the engine block... or perhaps some other thing ... a whole lot more than simply a leaking rear main tranny seal.

Just a thought.... hard to tell in the photo.

( I am also purposefully trying to ignore the fact that the black air-line down the right side in the photo is missing an Adel Clamp and appears to be improperly secured too) ... lol .. It kinda jumps out at me.

I haven’t checked the oil level yet.Everything was hot when I took the pic.I did see a lit bit of a leak when I got to Oregon from San Antonio but I had found it when I found a few other leaks like the one in the motor that I posted a couple of days ago along with a power steering hose that was leaking and I did replace on the spot and also a hub gasket leak.It’s kind of disappointing because I didn’t have any leaks before this trip and now I get all this stuff to figure out at once.Oh and the exhaust clamp behind the turbo came loose as well lol.
