It looks to be coming out of starter. Looks like its from starter factory
seam. Not sure if this is even possible

Enirely possible. What does the starter operate? Ring gear. What
allows the ring gear to spin? Bearings tied directly to the
crank..sealed with ..a seal on the engine side and a seal on the
tranny side. One assumes your starter is at the junction between the
engine and tranny, which is the usual place. If the seal on the
tranny side has gone south..it will bleed tranny fluid. Most forklifts
dont have much of a "bell housing"..generally bolting the transmission
directly to the engine.

Problem with forklifts..its damned hard to crawl underneith them
unless you have a work pit you can drive over. So you call the
forklift guy and spend a grand or more..or dig a pit in the ground and
drive the forklift over it and crawl into the pit. Sucks
