Possible oil leak?

I was driving my 2006 3500 around and when I came home parked it in the garage and in the morning there was this fluid on the floor so I wiped it up and left. Got back home from a run onto town and parked it in the garage again and about 1 hour after I shut it off there was the fluid again. So I put a piece of paper under the truck ran the truck for a minute and waited. the fluid is clear and oily feeling but has no smell and it's falling/dripping right by the torque converter and drips about 2 teaspoons of it and then stops, any of you know what it might be?

On 06 could be coolant from hose located just behind turbo. Check coolant bottle if low on coolant. Hose clamps are loose, just tighten down and your good to go.

I have a faint leak as well right on the bottom of the bellhousing but not enough to drip. BTW, how big of a garage do you have to fit your truck? My garage is a few feet short.

Thanks for the help. I didn't get to it today yet but I bet your right after doing some more reading.
