Flywheel & smoke Problem

Well crusing out to the carshow last night i looked in my rear view mirror and saw smoke coming out the back of the car. I pulled over and i had tranny fluid leaking out of the flywheel. I noticed that i dont have an inspection plate down there so you can see the flywheel turning which was flinging fluid on my oil pan and pipes and causeing smoke. Im not sure how big of a problem i have here. Anyone experienced this before?

Could be your rear main seal. Or a bad Valve cover leak.

I don't think it's a rear main or valve cover since he said.........

If it is Tranny fluid then there is a pretty big problem.
