Oil leak?!

Oil leak?!
Ok guys...this should be an interesting one.
My 97 Z34 (sry - i thought it was a 98) is now leaking oil. [:@] It only has 84k miles, and I really don't want to take it to a dealership or a shop and pay a fortune (I live in Michigan...anything to fix your car costs a fortune lol) unless I can take it somewhere to get it fixed cheap. The leak is intermittent - when you start the car, it will begin to drip ever so slowly, and after about an hour or two it stops when you turn it off from running for a few minutes. But if it's been running for a good while, I don't think it leaks... It's up on ramps right now, but regardless, it's dripping off of the transmission pan, NOT the oil pan. I know for sure it is motor oil. Also, there is a lot of oil wetness (not ordinary sludge) up around near the flywheel. Where could this be coming from, and what can I do??? It isn't affecting the car, really, but I won't transfer a plate to it until I'm done fixing it up, and I need to before mid October! Thanks for your help!!!
I took a few pictures of it, so if you need any, I will upload them.
