What is it?

Yellow/orange cold fluid, sounds like transmission mount to me.
The transmission mounts are hydrolic and will leak fluid whe they fail.

Is that an easy fix for a moderately experienced mechanical fellow as myself? Or is it headed to the stealer as I have no indies around here that I know of.

Yes it is.
First you need to visually check and confirm the mount is leaking.
Im on the road and posting this from my phone, but I'm sure someone here can post a pic. The mount it self looks like an iron ball that seats on a triangular bracket.
The bracket is connected to the trnsmission with two screws, and another two screws connect the "ball" to the body of the car.
Yo just need to support the transmission, remove the 4 screws and replace the mount.
There are two mounts. One on each side of the transmission.

Checked again and I am sure you are right. I thought it was hydraulic fluid but couldn't figure out what would have that. I looked at my Bentley book and see where it is. Should I replace both or just the failed one? Thanks so much for the help. This forum is the bomb!
