48RE Leak after Service

[ViperCummins]

Recently got my transmission serviced after having the heat exchanger line replaced due to wear/tear. After the service, I'm noticing a small weep from the torque converter bolt access panel on the upper passenger side after sitting overnight. No fluid coming out of the access panel on the bottom of the bell housing though.. Haven't tried getting it up to temp yet to see if flow increases at all. Any ideas?

maybe they spilled a little bit of fluid from the dipstick, which is above that area.

That was my first thought but then I cleaned it up and the source is higher than where the dipstick tube goes in. It's the little access panel held on my two 10mm bolts.

There is no fluid behind that panel, it's dry on both sides, so it must be a spill from above like he said.
Nothing you need to worry about.

I didn't think there should be any fluid behind that one either. Looking even higher now, there's an engine coolant hard line/rubber line that runs under the exhaust manifold that's dripping onto the front of the bell housing and rolling down

Yes it's a coolant line, coolant is water based.

You don't say

once again, many times a close visual observation reveals the source of the problem.
