Unknown Rubber Seal
So my 98 gs300 has weird rectangular rubber plug like thing on the front of the housing where the engine meets the trans. I have no Idea what it is but there's a good amount of oil leaking from it. Can anyone identify what it is?

The hole isn't actually for inspecting the oil pan, it's for accessing the torque converter bolts. The cover prevents road debris from getting in the bell housing. The oil is coming from a leaking seal (e.g. rear main seal) and gathering in the bell housing until it drips out.
