Could it be windshield washer fluid.
I had a leak and that is what is turned out to be. Don't know yet if the resovor is leaking, cracked or if I just overfilled it.
It was blue though.

If it is oil then have the tranny hoses checked. The color should be blue

Fluid is greasy...probably not wiper fluid.
