trans leak

My car started chirping as I was driving yesterday and this morning a lifted it up to look and see if I could find anything that was making the noise. I thought it might off been the brakes but they seemed to be working fine, but when I was under the car I noticed that the bottom of the transmission was wet near the drain plug and where the drivers axle inserts.

crappy picture but this is the area



Does anybody know what this could be?

Most likely the seal for the axle has gone bad.

You were right. I took my car to the Toyota dealer to have them inspect it, and they found that the left front axle seal is leaking. They also found that the front timing cover is leaking. They are fixing it next week. Thank god for the power train warranty.
