Looks like something found its way out of the bellhousing. My guess would be a torque converter nut, or maybe the balance weight they sometimes spot-weld to the converter. Looks like the hole has been there awhile. Do you remember hearing a loud bang under the hood sometime back? You may have more to deal with than an oil leak...Hi, new to forum. I have a mazda5.

Actually, I do not remember there was a loud band somehow. Will it be ok to have an opening on bellhousing?Looks like something found its way out of the bellhousing.
