If it is that plate, you can check by taking the two bolts off the flywheel cover that is on the underside of the transmission by the motor and looking between the motor and flywheel. If that's it then you have to remove the trans or motor to replace it, which is silly so you'll probably just keep an eye on your oil levels and top them off to make up for the leak until you need to do a clutch job or something that gives you easy access to that plate.

The underside of the transmission gets hot enough to ignite motor oil?
