Default Got a Leak, not exactly sure what it is

Sunday, working on my friends car. As we took a break and I did
not have come to change the engine oil and oil was kind of low,
So I went ahead and pour a bottle in just for the time being.

30 minutes later, I noticed a leak on the ground, on the passenger side.
For what I could tell its from near the bottom of the car next
to the headers, doing down towards the car. There is a little
L shape hose that is leaking. Also near the top of the engine
of the passenger side of what it kind of look like a smaller version
of a fuel filter. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

I also had the AC on for most of the time driving the car around the day.

Any idea what this could be?

a couple of q's for you.
Were you a full quart low?
When was the oil last checked/changed?
Are you sure the leak was oil?

I checked the oil before I pour more in and it was low.
After I pour it in it was back in the middle/full.

Its coming up for a oil change, I haven't had the time.

Not quiet sure if it was an oil leak. For now its not leaking anymore.

BTW, what kind of tranny fluid would I need for the tranny.
I have a 92 SC manual.
