I have a small transmission fluid leak coming out of the bellhousing area on my truck. Suspect either the front seal or torque converter. Any previous experience or common issues for this type of leak. Going to dig into it further but sometimes hearing about common issues makes it easier to figure out what is going on.

2016 2500 6.4 Hemi 66RFE. Only 64k miles

Bought the truck years ago with 24k miles and no obvious change in transmission performance. Fluid level is still fine. Noticed about a 2" spot under the truck, and that was after it had sat in the same spot for several days after getting back from a 7 hour road trip. Never any puddle or spots prior to that (it's always parked in the same spot on a concrete floor, and often sits for days or a week at a time). There was a droplet formed at the bottom passenger side of the bellhousing. I cleaned it up (tried to spray inside the bellhousing with brake cleaner), drove it a little, and a day later there was another droplet on the bellhousing but no obvious spot on the floor.
