Default Tranny Leak from unknown area...

I was driving my ZJ to my parents ranch to drop it off and park it..... on the way there i was driving the **** out of my jeep going through mountain ranges and everything as fast as possible... I took the over drive off and went through the mountains that way so I wouldnt keep down shifting and up shifting...... when I went to remove the overdrive so it would shift into Overdrive it wouldnt...... and the button wasnt working correctly,... The button light was on and it wouldnt shut off no matter how many times i pressed it..... then all of a sudden....... I smelt burning transmission oil.... and saw smoke... I pulled over to see what was goin on...... and My transmission was leaking from it looked like around the Torque Converter/
Bell Housing.
I checked all of the hoses and they looked fine...... and there was trasmission fluid around my oil filter...??WTF?? right? I think while it was without the Overdrive it was working harder bulding up more pressure and prouted a leak from somewhere wierd..

What all is there that it could be leaking from?

I checked the hoses..

Checked the pan..

The leak seems to be coming from above the hoses around the Torque Converter.
WTF is this?
