I have a TCI street fighter 700r4 in my 81 camaro. It has developed an odd leak/draining issue. Does not do this on a consistent basis. The car could sit for days or just hours and drain out alot of fluid, stop then do the same thing days or hours later, with no fluid added! Fluid level always check low so I add accordingly but it eventually just drains out. Do not know where's it's coming from and have ruled out the dipstick tube and pan gasket. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it dripping from the front or rear of the tranny?

Seems to be coming from above the pan. But not the governor cover. Just forward of it.

Tough to diagnose without pics and an inspection, but I've had a bad a case and front seal leak a few days after replacement. I'm sure someone else will jump in w another suggestion. Also, pics might help...
