check your rear main seal. Also try changing your trans fluid, trans filter, and your transmission pan seal. I recommend you put lucas transmission oil in it and a quart of the Lucas Stop Slip and leak sealer
The easiest way to check is put a piece of cardboard under your vehicle when it is parked in one spot.Then look for where the drip is coming from.Fluild leaks can be tricky because when you drive,the wind blows the fluid back towards the rear of the car.The fluid lines run to your radiator for cooling when you are driving your car.They can leak at either the radiator or at the transmission if so,take them loose and wrap them with teflon tape then tighten back down.. Also your pan gasket can leak which is a simple fix with some rtv sealer and a new gasket.Or you can have either a tailshaft seal leak or a front pump seal leak.The tailshaft seal is in the rear of the ****** where it meets the drivetrain.The front seal is up by the engine and the ****** would have to come out to replace that.Depending on the leak,you might try so transmission sealer additive just to see if it stops.
That is caused by a worn front seal on the transmission. If the leak is very minor, often a product like Lucas trans sealer and conditioner (one of few additives I know of that work without doing any damage elsewhere in the transmission) will stop it. If it is a bad leak the only real cure is to have the unit removed and re-sealed.
The front seal could be replaced, and not have a problem. If you have a shop other than a transmission shop do the repairs, make sure the torque converter hub is inspected to make certain its not scratched/scorn. If the trans shifts properly and the fluid is not burned or smells burned, this would be an easy repair. If the trans fluid smells burned, and hasn't been serviced regularly, the rebuild would be the way to go. Also, ask what the warranty for any and all repair are on your vehicle. Normal warranty is 1yr, 12.000 miles in the automotive business.
Dont waste your time and money trying to use a transmission stop leak product, they don't work on large leaks, you say the leak is excessive in this case the you must remove the transmission to access and remove the torque converter, after you have removed the torque converter carefully inspect the torque convert imput shaft for wear and also you will need to visually inspect the transmission front pump bushing for wear also, I have seen it all to often people just replace the seal thinking it was just a seal failure, well more times than not there is a reason for seal more than just the age of the seal, excessive wear on trans pump bushing and torque converter imput shaft is usaully the cause, check and repair those as good practice during this repair unless you just like to do the repair over again for free... also check the torque converter run out, sometime when they are repaired they are welded back together somewhat crooked which will cause it to spin off of a true center, this will cause immediate damage to transmission. Check also your engines crankshaft end play for looseness this can cause wobble which will transfer to transmission causing this problem as well... do the repair thouroughly and who ever does it for you have them check all that I listed and you should get a good repair which will last without issues.... please rate my help thanks...
Your question is not complete but I assume u have a front seal leak on the transmission? this is the torque converter seal and it requires the removal of the trans to fix it/replace it, if the torque converter has a grove worn in the area where the seal rides you will also have to replace the torque converter. There are trans leak seal sweller chemicals out there, they will slow down or stop the leak for awhile, but in most cases this is a short term fix, also throughly clean the trans first (car wash works great) before any work and make double sure the leak is not from the trans pan gasket.
it sounds like your valve cover is bent, you may need to buy a new one, did you use any gasket sealer with the cork gsket? if not remove the valve cover and use gasket sealer..... Apply it driectly to the cork gasket...... if you did not use sealeant this is why it is leaking.
