Trans leak 2 days later

My Trans has been leaking on and off for about 1.5 months now. First thoughts were it was at the filler tube replaced O Ring . Seemed OK then more sparatic leaking . I have been getting up to temp checking it running on level ground after putting it in each gear then back to park as the book says. The reason I say sparatic is that it was low I did not add fluid later it was reading full. I have not run it since Tuesday no leaking ,today a plate size spot and still drippin off the pan bolts . Anyone with any insight would be great. Thanks

Went to Trans shop we think filler tube is leaking because more fluid when parked on hill. O ring goes in the middle of the 2 pcs. tube . Trans man said he flares the bottom of the tube for a press fit and glues them in . This makes sense because when I did my Down pipe / exhaust I cleaned around the base of the fill tube and probably created the leak . Crud does hold ***** together.

Check the front of the tranny oil pan for a rub hole. Remove the trans btm road shield plate to inspect
