Is it leaking from the seal in the rear where the rear driveshaft goes into? If it is, my truck did the same thing, and it was really easy to replace the seal.

[IMG]trans.jpeg[/IMG] If the picture comes out, its the front hole in the bottom of the trans (about 2" in dia.), about 1" from the front flange, it shows in the picture surrounded with black paint.
If the picture does not show maybe you can go by the description.
thanks

The rubber inspection plug in the front of the tranny housing? Could be TC or input shaft seal leaking? I don't do tranny work so don't quote me.

Picture didnt work, but it sounds like its coming out the inspection plug like wilber said. Maybe the plug in the torque convertor is leaking? Im not 100% sure where you are talking about though.

Yes, its coming from the inspection plug, does that mean I have to pull the trans out? or at least pull it away from the motor?, I have 2 trucks down for trans!!!

First turn your motor over and check to see if the torque convertor plug is leaking. Then go from there. I would say it sounds like a front seal though, something that may need the trans pulled back from the motor.
