Trans Leak....HELP

I've got an '06 with the auto trans. This morning when I went out to my truck I noticed a small spot on the pavement . Of coarse I was kind of scared as to what it could be. After crawling under the truck I followed the leak up the passenger side of the trans and I think I found the area of the source but didn't have time to the actual spot of the leak. Trans fluid was fine after driving home the 1.5 hrs and pulling a trailor of firewood about 8 miles.

Any clue what it could be???? Calling the dealer in the morning to have them check it out

Thanks in advance

Probably just the crankcase breather. Check to see if it looks like tranny or engine oil but don't be suprised to be told it's engine oil and that it's normal from the breather.
