Missing Tranny Bolt?

Missing Tranny Bolt?
Would some one with an 07, manual transmission go look underneath their car. Right near the part of the exhaust with the "wrap" around it, in the center bottom portion of the transmission halves, is there an empty bolt hole? Directly underneath this empty threaded hole his a little bit of yellow paint and a litte green paint.
I was changing the oil today and noticed this. There doesn't seem to be any fluids leaking. It's the area shown in the red circle. A bolt the size of the one directly above/left of the red circle would fit in this.
Thanks!

mine is like that too.
when I first brought my mini home it had a bad "oily" leak. I crawled under that car and saw the missing bolt on the tranny and "oily" residue all around it....I assumed that's where the leak was.
long story short the dealer determined I had a rear main seal leak, and the missing tranny bolt wasn't missing and was supposed to be that way.
still doesn't make sense to me why there is an empty bolt whole, but it's supposed to be that way.
