Without knowing the engine architecture or what we are looking at, it’s difficult to be much help.

It is possible it is overzealous use of engine assembly lube (not lubriplate grease) that is working it’s way out of places it shouldn’t be? Is it left over solvents or grease from solvent tanking that when heated up have mobilized? Are there nooks and crannies in this engine / transmission / bell housing that could trap grease?

That looks like a lot of oil, whatever the source. Did the engine oil level drop? What about the transaxle oil level?
