That is transmission oil seeping out of the joint between the torque tube and torque tube ball. It has a gasket sandwiched between two thin washers and the joint is threaded. Take a pair of channel lock pliers and tighten the knurled ring as much as possible. You may be able to slow the leak but, honestly, nearly all leak or seep to some degree.
