Default 03 8.1 oil leak

I have an oil leak that looks like it is dripping down from the top of the bell housing behind the motor. I wondered if there was a sensor or something there that could be leaking. This oil is ending up dripping off the trans oil filter. It runs all the way down.

Check that PCV valve friend. Those gettin clogged up will cause leaks.
