+1 Where are the missing bolts? The chassis reinforcement plate is attached to the rear axle support by two bolts and torqued to about 48lb. Also I would agree the oil came off the reinforcement plate. Look at the oil closely and smell it. Transmission fluid smells nasty compare to engine oil. Normally engine oil leaks occur forward of the rear axle support unless your oil filler tube is leaking where it attaches to the filler (mine was).
Look closely for signs of oil where the transmission meets the engine, this is where RMS leaks would show but generally that oil would not land on the reinforcement plate.
Good luck!
