Help needed finding trans/T-case leak

Hi guys. I let my truck sit for about 2 weeks and I found a puddle of trans fluid underneath it today. I haven't had any problems in the past with it. So, I crawl underneath and it seems to be coming from where the t-case and trans bolt together. Right above the rubber trans mount where there are the bolts that bolt the two together.
I could hardly get a wrench in there to see if any bolts are loose but it didn't seem like any were loose. Right where it is leaking, there is a small hole, it kinda looks like a casting mark or something. The fluid is coming out of it while it sets. I have no idea how to stop this without tearing it apart. If there is a quick band-aid fix to this for now please tell me. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!!!
