Time to pull the tranny and get the seal replaced, OR live with the leak and
keep fluid handy.

The trans has to come out to pull the converter, as the seal is behind it.
Might be a good time to consider a TC upgrade or swap as well.

everyone. After cleaning the transmission, I was able to tell that the
fluid is coming from the front of the transmission. Where exactly its
leaking from I can't tell. It seems to do it when the tranmission is under
load, because I let it sit there and idle for about 15 minutes in Nuetral
with no leak. When I drive up to the barn and back, I put it in park and
there's the leak.
