Weird Oil? Something leak..help?

Really weird leak going on in my car...not sever, only 2 or three drops, but it peaks my curiousity....

Under the car, where the engine and transmission connect, there is a metal cowl that is protecting/cooling it seems either the transmission or something.

After driving, tiny bits of something seep out of here. It isn't dark black like oil, and isn't pink/red like ATF. But it does leave 2 or 3 drops after a decently long drive. It seems like something mixed with a small but of oil, as it isn't thick or dark black. If it makes any difference, I accidentally bumped into my primer bump, and the bolt was loose enough where a lot of fuel shot all over inside of engine. Yet this fluid doesn't really smell like diesel. Any idea what this could be/how to fix it/if its serious? Its only a few drips here and there, but it never leaked until recently.
All of the engine and driveline perform as they should.
