Is the drive gear the splines on the driveshaft/crankshaft? More than likely either the driveshaft seal(s) under the water pump or shift shaft seals are leaky. Pressure testing will help ID a leaking seal.
The oil is probably unburned gas/oil.
It leaks down through the cracks and crevices and settles in the low spots.
Change the oil and check for water?
Then do a pressure test if the oil is contaminated.
Some posters parrot their suggestions and really don't have a clue.

Makes sense. I could see it clear up to the bottom of the motor. I checked the oil level, it?s full, doesn?t look bad, but it?s probably best drain it and see.
