Im a lil concerned the transmission may have damaged it after some reading I was doing.
Don't read too much into what you've been reading...
There's a couple places that oil could be coming from if it looks like it's dripping off the bellhousing. It could be leaking somewhere across the rear of the intake manifold. That's where everyone suggests using a big bead of RTV rather than the cork gasket. It could be the valve covers. It could be the oil pan. It could be the rear main seal. It could be the oil galley plugs in the back of the block.
Clean the back of the engine real good using a degreaser. Run the engine a bit, then feel around all the external places I mentioned.
Since you're concerned about the stuff you've read lately, you must have a C4 or other auto tranny. There should be a cover you can remove to gain access to the torque converter. You can remove that, and feel around inside, to find if it's a leak in the rear of the block.
Did you put the engine together? Mosts rebuilders will tap the oil galley plugs for a pipe thread plug, rather than the press-in type.
