C6 Leak
A question that I suspect may not have an easy answer.
I'm looking for an idea of where to start looking or suggestions of best step.
Okay here's the deal. My truck is parked on a hill, steep driveway, last couple of times I pulled it it down to move into the garage there is a slight stream of drips coming from the trans and once sitting in the garage leaves a nice puddle for the kitty litter to soak up. I removed the access/inspection plate at the bottom of the trans and inside is trans fluid pooled up. Could this most likely be a seal issue that I will need to pull to remedy?
Or possibly something other than a seal, I'm hoping for, that you guys have seen that is inherent to the C6 that's an easy fix?

Probably not an easy fix but if it was it would be one of the cooling lines that would be loose.
Fluid pours from mine when I top it off. Apparently, there are 3 seals on these boogers but you have to pull it to fix them.

Hmmm...you know I had a small leak that was of not too high of importance to me, small drops to stain the driveway. I topped her off and that's when she leaked the most I completely for got about that. I had never seen her leak that kind of volume prior.

Is it heading uphill or downhill when parked?
Always...to find a leak you need a clean item. Wipe it all down and it will be easier to find where it's coming from. First guess - if it's pooled up inside the inspection cover then the front seal is leaking.

It's facing uphill. Once I get it in the garage there are actually multiple points from where the drips happen. Looks like it just flows out from where it can once the truck gets level.
Automatics intimidate me in general, for what ever reason standards have always been easier for me.

2X Turbo. Uphill leaking from within the Bell has to be fluid coming out of the torque convertor and past the front seal. My Cougar seems to do the same thing. leaks when I stop driving. Funny how I see no signs of it leaking while driving. But it prolly is.
