Name that Leak - Please?

I've been struggling with fluid leaking from my car since not long after I got it back from the shop.

The patient is a 2004 S 6-Speed

Transmission was rebuilt by G Box less than 5000 miles ago
IMS, RMS, Flywheel and Clutch replaced by a very reputable shop 500 miles ago

200 miles ago I started noticing drips on my garage floor. Cleaned her up real good and it became clear that the leak was coming from the bell housing.

Joe Gibbs DT 40 and the Porsche transmission fluid smell a lot like each other and have the same yellowish color when new - compared them bottle to bottle.

So I got myself a 4 post lift and a transmission stand. Pulled the tranny and here's what I found:

Fluid pooling in the bell housing

Behind the flywheel appears to be dry.

Is there an obvious diagnosis or should I proceed to pulling the clutch and the flywheel? What say you experts who are smarter than I? Thanks for the help!
