Sounds like the problem is going to be oil pump seal, oring, gasket, or torque converter seal? Anyone been down this road? I will need to pull the transmission at some point to fix this?
32RH transmission fluid dripping from bellhousing

The whole thing was a total mess of oil and dirt but the pics were after I cleaned it all up and drove about 8 miles.
You're sure it's transmission fluid and not oil? You could try some stop leak but that's only a temporary fix (if it even works at all). Sounds like it's time to drop the transmission!
Ya it's transmission fluid (red).
Here it is about two hours later. Glad I was able to at least figure out where it is coming from.
a drip off the bottom of the bellhousing is almost certainly a pump seal leak, or possibly pump bolts or the pump o-ring. Either way you're gonna need to remove the trans to ID the leak and address.
I'm 50/50 on getting the seal out without needing to remove the pump. But that's probably because I'm comfortable removing the pump if need be. If I weren't comfortable with that, I would probably be a lot more motivated to get the seal out with everthing still assembled.

Although I've never seen a leak pool up behind that bolt. Usually it's right in the center of the bellhousing.
