Under the clutch housing, there is the clutch inspection plate. Forward from that, at the bottom, there is an additional 1" hole. I'm dripping oil out of that constantly. Where's it coming from? Only thing I can think is that the main seal is leaking. But the oil is a darker brown than what's in the sump- I just changed oil, so its new. The stuff that's dripping is old.

TIA.

Leak from the front end of the torque tube maybe?

There is always clutch dust in that housing so oil runs through it turned it dark. While it is split, replace rear main and torque tube shaft seal. MACK
