You mean the engine oil leaks from there?

Yes; engine oil can leak from a leaking valve cover gasket near the firewall down onto the trans extension housing. In you case it is probably ATF from the transmission but nonetheless, just in case it's not, it's worth first checking for oil leaks between the back of the valve cover and head near the firewall before starting work on the transmission or extension housing seal. it's just a matter of wiping your hand around there or checking with an inspection mirror to see there are engine oil leaks there. Or if you aren't concerned about the associated health risks, do a taste test of the leaking fluid to see if it tastes like ATF or engine oil.
