[s-cars] drip drip drip

[CyberPoet]

Pure guess?
If it's a manual tranny: Rear cam or crank seals on the engine; by the
time it gets to the tranny, it's been heated enough to thicken up with
the help of some road dust/dirt...

If it's an automatic: same as above or one of the tranny fluid cooler
lines.

Time to get in there with a some engine degreaser and then dry it all
off and then try to locate the source (expect it to be leaking only
under pressure, i.e. - engine running).

PS - other question -- what fluids are dropping if you measure them
day-to-day, over a period of a week?

Good Luck!
