Default Trans dip stick leak

Hey guys I'm not familiar with transmissions at all. I got my flywheel to torque converter bolts on. And was warming up the engine to check the fluid before test driving it. I noticed this leak. Wasn't there before just started when I got done. Am I missing something here? I thought it just pushed into the tranny and done. Thanks in advance!

There's supposed to be an o ring in there. Presumably you bumped it and it finally gave up the ghost. While looking for the part number I found this replacement. Never tried it though.

Between the shoulder of the dip tube and the casing of the transmission. I'll see if I can find an illustration.

I always thought that black grommet between the tranny and dipstick was my seal lol... so I think I didn't put the o ring but I will check 😬
