Help with Fluid Leak/Part ID
Hello I have a 1977 covette that was passed down to my wife and I. I am new to corvettes and still in the process of getting the vehicle relocated to me. But I am trying to troubleshoot a fluid leak prior to it getting here. Can someone help ID what part is leaking directly behind the oil pan?What part is leaking?

The red is ATF the black goo is oil.
Hard to say where it originates from w/o a thorough cleansing.
There are fluid dye kits for coolant, PS, trans and oil that will help locate leaks via a blacklight.
