Default Problem after clutch install

I just had my clutch replaced like 2-3 weeks ago. I looked under the car and there seems to be like maybe tranny fluid dripping off the transmission. Do they changed any fluids in the transmission when they put a new clutch in? Could they have overfilled it?

The MTF is emptied from the transmission when doing a clutch change because the axles must be removed to access the transmission. It's quite possible that your drain or fill-bolt are not tightened to spec on your transmission, or that your passenger side axle has not been pushed in completely, creating the necessary seal. It's quite possible that also the shop dropped your transmission. Look for cracks!

WEll I took a look under the car and its coming from the axle. So it looks like it was not sealed properly. Thanks for your help.
