I need some advice again.

I was crawling around under the car (the new motor ran great yesterday but I thought I should re-tighten a few things, just in case) and I notice a small oil stain on the floor, maybe the size of a dollar bill.  I went under the car and found oil seeping from between the engine and the large, thin metal plate that bolts to the ZF--I think it's called the inspection plate, but I'm not sure.  It looks like very clean motor oil, but I suppose it could be clutch fluid.

What could this mean?

Thanks,


Chris

PS:  The oil pressure runs about 65 to 69 lbs when driving, 35 when idling.  This is much higher than my old motor.  Is that normal?
