Terrible looking Transmission Leak

Today i was wondering why my car (06 Acura TL w/ AT and 123k) is making a VERY SLIGHT, "woo" sound. Like a motor running. I look by the tire and i see this horrifying image



This is from behind the drivers side Wheel.

NOW BEFORE we say its a huge tranny issue. The car is driving and Shifting fine. NO CLUNKS OR JERKS. Fluid is pink, which is how i noticed it was tranny fluid cause of the pink.

Under the hood i see a wet spot as well. Could it be leaking from somewhere up top and dripping down?



I put a tag on where it is


Im hoping the stuff on the WHOLE tranny is just dirt and the bottom left is only the leak. This would make sense since i dont see a huge decrease in tranny fluid level. There are never any puddles or anything when i get in the car in the morning

Im Scared its something big

i believe there is a rubber return and feed line back there. You'll have to remove the airbox to get a better look.
