Noticed a oily leak around transmission so I took my splash shields off today and noticed a small little door or panel on the underside of my manual transmission missing and need help figuring out what this is and also need prayers because this cant be good.

Normal. Break clean it off and inspect the oil pan. Usually the sides of it will also be wet. Obviously it is reccomended to change but it is pretty labour intensive if done at a shop. It’s the one leak that can be pushed off a little it will not cause much harm other than an oil drop. That leak looks minor. Worst case it is the rear main seal but that is much less common. You can pop off the inspection plate and check. All of this is given that the valve cover and oil filter housing is not leaking. It can drip down the block to that area aswell
