Most likely one of the seals on the tranny is worn through age and the fluid is leaking from there. That being said, if you have, or anyone has, dropped the pan on the transmission to change the filter or something, the mounting screws on the bottom of the pan may not have the right torque specifications on them. These are usually pretty sensitive to the proper amount of torque. If not properly torqued, fluid could leak from the pan because the gasket is not properly sealed. Hope this helps Is there a specific torque amount, and is there a sequence to tighten the bolts as in tightening the bolts when you change a tire? Thanks, Steve
