How bad is it(auto trans.)

Today i replaced my alternator and while i was under the car i found that on seam where tranny connects to engine there is a little spot of trans. fluid it kinda sweating i always park my car on the same spot on the driveway and i didn't see any oil on it. So i just wanna know how bad is it. nothing serious just wondering.
Car has 160 miles tranny shifts perfect(knocking on wood).

well leaks are never good, but....... doesnt sound bad. Take a rag and wipe it off and look again tomaro and see what forms. Hopefully nothign serious jsut went through a new tranny myself thsoe evil auto trannys oh and check your transmission fluid although since its shifting fine you should not be low but always check to make sure

EDIT: check the seals and bolts make sure they are nice and snug

Don't worry about it.

When you do see oil on the driveway where you park the car, then worrying about it.

I've had some of that for a long time now. No color to it, just some dirt/dust stuck on it. Still no leaks on my driveway or garage . I check my tranny fluid, and no issues.
