4r100 leak
kinda worried here, on a road trip towing the travel trailer.....
got a leak, found fluid on the undercarriage and on the trailer, cannot tell where it is coming from, best advise? need to add fluid but is there a product for stop leaking? common failure point?

How is the fluid level? If it isn't low, your problem was overfill.
If it is low, there isn't a lot I can recommend if you can't tell where it is coming from. A common leak point is the torque converter hub seal. If this seal gets hot it gets soft and leaks. The good news is that it almost always seals again once it cools.
I don't know of any stop leak that works AND doesn't screw up the transmission.
