if that's under the dry bellhousing portion of the casting forward.. closer to the engine that the rear of the tranny.. you've already been told what it is.
it's a bellhousing weep hole for utf from a tranny input shaft seal to leak thru.. or for the rear main to leak thru.. there should be a cotter pin in there to jingle around and keep the hole open.. if it clogs.. oil builds up and soaks your 350-550$ clutch and ruins it.
first thing you need to do is get an owners manual, parts manual, and a service manual and become familiar with your machine.
refer to unknown parts by proper name or part number makes the people helping you search less and give you more correct and direct info vs fishing for data.
that said.
if it's a 'dripping leak.. determine if it is utf.. if it is.. it's fromt he tranny.. if so.. check the fill level plug on the right side of the trans and make sure it is not overfull.. if it is overfull it will surely leak out the input shaft seal.
if not that.. it is engine oil.
if a dripping leak.. I'd put a piece of carbooard under it till it needed fixing.
if it is a stream or pouring out.. or a fast drip.. then repair according to issue.. IE.. repalce clutch and service input shaft seal.. check flywheel and ring gear. if rear main.. you will be dropping the pan..
