Transmission Drain.

Just a quickie. Is it normal for a few drops of fluid to come out of the transmission drain hole on occasion?

I almost JB welded it until I realized what it was!

You mean at the bottom of the bell housing? Only if your rear engine seal or front transmission seal is leaking.

Bottom of bell. Tiny drain hole. Nothing else is leaking and it only happens sometimes, not often at all. Is this normal?

Well, is it gear/tranny oil or engine oil? Could be engine oil leaking past the rear main seal or gear oil leaking out of the front of the transmission input shaft seal. More likely it's the rear main.
