Oil Between Trans and Engine

Has anyone that has an 03, notice oil residue between bell housing of trans and rear of engine? It is black and I could not tell for sure if it was Trans fluid or Engine Oil. There is a bar going across the frame at this point and it is black with this stuff! Since this is my first diesel p/u I am not sure what to expect. I have had diesel tractors, and most of them leaked some sort fluid at one time or another.
