03 max trans issue turned into massive leak

So yeah... the other Day when i tried to go to work every time i'd put my car in R it would stall... so im gave up and took the truck!

The Day after i tried it again to go work and it worked! When i came back i noticed a huge flop of oil in the driveway! Decided to not take the car anymore and today checked it. Again it leaked in the driveway and there is no more motor oil in it, HOWEVER when i look under the tranny there seems to be trans oil leaking too... i Also noticed a Lil hole in the tranny housing and i was wondering if the engine oil was leaking by there or if it should be tranny oil?... what you think bout it...

That hole is there by design to allow fluid to drip when either the rear main oil seal or the main seal on the tranny leak.

It looks like the tranny seal is leaking which is bad. Check the drivers side axle seal to see if it may be leaking and migrating. Follow the fluid up to the highest point in all directions to see if you can find a different source.
