Either that or the rear main seal, and either way the fix is the same huh?

If you do end up separating the trans and engine of course you would replace both seals.

Thank you for your input on the matter I have done some thinking on how it could be the torque converter or even a crack in the bellhousing if its a crack could i possibly use a arc welder to repair it if its a good weld ive also heard of people using jb weld but i highly doubt that will work in that case

If it's the rear engine seal, check and make sure the PCV valve isn't stuck.
