assuming u have a auto trans. that is the cover for the tourqe converter. yes the hole is supposed to be there. what color is the fluid. could be the front seal on the trans. or could be rear seal on the motor. or could be leaking down from the intake manifold and making its way down to there.

yes its a drain hole. well theres not supposed to be any oil coming from it but like i said before could be the front seal on the trans. or could be rear seal on the motor. or could be leaking down from the intake manifold and making its way down to there. take the cover off and have a look and see if it looks like its coming from the inside of the cover. that would be a trans leak. a lot of the times u will have oil there but it comes from the motor because as u travel on the road the air going by causes it to go back that way. thats why i was asking the color. get a paper towel and soak some up and see if its red or not. red would be trans fluid if not then it would be engine oil. do u leave a oil spot overnight?
