Default Tranny leak question?

I have a 2004 QC Hemi with 27,xxx miles.Ive had it for 2-3 weeks now.It drives fine throttle response is a bit slow but other than drives and runs good.I just under the truck and was just looking around under there, getting to know my truck better (Bonding) and theres oil all over the tranny pan.On the side of the pan theres a lever or something, kinda looks like a throttlebody linkage in a way.There was a drip of oil on the tip of that ready to fall.

Like I said everything seems fine but what could this be from?Maybe the pan not tigten down all the way from servicing or overheating?I think it has a tranny cooler.

Anybody else with this?

BTW it doesnt leave any puddles or even drops on the driveway.

If any fluid was added, and added a bit too fast, it will run down the fill tube, and could appear as though there was a leak. Why not clean it off, then check it again in a few days and see if you can figure out what's going on. I'm sitting here in the middle of a corn field, and I don't have a clue what to tell you beyond that.
