1971 small block, 4 speed manual transmission.
I have drops of transmission fluid on the underside of the hood, passenger side, mid compartment.  Can't figure out where it could be coming from.
Anyone ever seen this, know how tranny fluid could get up there?
I did think the stick was feeling a little warm last time I was out, so now I'm worried.

If it is tranny fluid red in color, it would most likely be coming from the power steering pump. thrown their by the fan.
