One thing to check. There is a plate on the bottom of the transmission held on by two bolts. Behind this plate is the transmission screen filter. If this plate is not installed perfectly, it can develop a leak. Also, there may be a gasket there that has deteriorated to the point of leaking. It is very difficult to get to. While you are in there, I suggest you clean the filter.
