Does any one know what this bolt is for or what fluid was behind it? Without thinking I removed the bolt on the bottom what i would call the bellhousing (see photo, area between engine and trans where i assume torque converter is) and some bluish (possibly trans fluid im think) came out. If it is trans fluid, or transfer case maybe? I cant find anything online for this. Rogue is a 2023 SV AWD 3 cyl turbo. thank you!

It's trans (CVT) fluid. That's the leveling plug, it's used to get the correct fluid level when you haven't measured or don't know how much you took out.
