Kevin,
   Was it motor oil? If it was then the rear main seal is leaking. This
is the seal around the end of the crankshaft. You have to move (easier
if you remove) the tranny and take off the fly wheel and replace the
seal. It isn't really hard.
   If it is auto fluid, then that could be a number of things. The front
seal of the tranny can go, the seal around the pump can go, there could
be too much pressure inside the tranny and it could be forcing the fluid
out the vent hole, there could be to much fluid inside the trany and it
is being forced out the vent hole. 
   Hope this helps.
