If it's truly coming from inside the bell housing, then it would likely be a bad freeze plug but make real sure it isn't leaking from the valley pan above and running inside the housing.

It would be under the intake if it has one but I can't tell you how it's set up because you never listed the engine that it has. Anything leaking near the back of the engine would run down in that direction.

Yes, on the transmission.
