car3 picture by alexr071291 - Photobucket ok the plug in this picture had a leak and i pulled the plug on it (the car was parked up on a curb at a bit of an incline so i could get under there easier) and nothing came out does that mean my fluid is really low or something but it does not look very bad on the dip stick. please help.

Nothing should come out of there. Is the inside of the bellhousing wet or did the leak materialize elsewhere and collect on the plug? Leaks in that area can be deceptive because there are a lot of components in a line, and gravity pulls everything to the lowest point. Often it looks like one thing is leaking, but the leak originates elsewhere.

i pulled the plug and there was maybe a little moisture and some grime but now it looks like it very well did originate from somewhere else iits either oil or coolant i think cause my coolant level is low though i have not noticed it getting lower and my oil is leaking cause i add some every week.
