Default Antifreeze leak?

just got my new truck home and i came out the other day and found this it was leaking antifreeze. i looked under the truck to find out where it was leaking from and it looks to be coming out between the trans bell housing and the TQ cover. i am pretty sure there isn't a freeze plug back there. does anyone know why it would be leaking back here?

Is it the '98 in your sig?

I think there are some freeze plugs on each side? of the rear of the block.. Could be wrong though.


Edit:

I see my mistake now....

Damn NOT what I wanted to hear either. They just had the tranny out and rebuilt it six months ago.
