OK guys,
I know its traditional for a landy to leak oil, but I have seapage out of what I assume is the auto Transmission.
Attached are photos of the leak area.
My question is, is it something that I need to rush to a mechanic about, or something to keep an eye on?
The first Photo shows that oil is seaping from the left bolt, and the second shows oil seaping from a plug further back from the first photo.
Cheers guys
Matt

That is the bell housing, so unlikely to be an Auto problem.
Pull the engine cover off and have a look around the drivers side towards the back of the motor. Check the cam cover gasket for leaks especially at the back on the head, then have a look at the fuel pressure regulator. The leak is like to becoming from one of those two area.
You'll often get a better idea if you get under the car and look up with a torch to shed some light on the areas on interest.

The past few months my V8 developed the same. A very small amount of oil is running down the bell housing and gathers on the tip of the sump plug. So far it's never amassed enough oil to actually drip.
I degreased the area so it was spotless and it took 2 weeks to come back. Im not fussed about it.
