2003 4.6is 95kmiles

i usually park backed into my garage space so the front end is lower than the back. the other day i was in a rush so i parked the other way. next morngin the temps dropped significantly and i noticed a small puddle of fluid, and it looked like oil.

now i am realizing that when the car is fully warmed, at the at the hole near the bottom part of the bell housing where it mates to the block, oil drips. in addition to the oil, steam is fully blowing out from that hole.

from searching, it appears that when the valley pan leaks, coolant leaks from that hole area. also, when the temps drop the OSV freezes up and will typically blow the VCs.

is it possible that the VCs blew and the valley pan is leaking slowly so that steam can be produced from the heat of the block so that i am consistently dripping oil from the bottom portion of the bell housing and a stream of steam literally blows out of that hole near the bottom of the bell housing?

just gauging people's opinions before i tear the car apart and do the valley pan, WP, tstat, real coolant seal, OSV, VCs, and intake port seals.

pretty sure its not trans fluid cus its brownish.

TIA.
