Auto Tranny Leak Question

My tranny leaks alot where the bellhousing meets the engine upon initial startup when cold. It is especially bad if the truck in on a downward incline. After driving about 1/2 mile, the bad leak stops and it only drips a little when parked. It has dripped a bit in that spot since I got the truck 3 months ago, but the severe leaking occured suddenly. What could the cause be? I do not know if it is a C4 or C6.

If you had listed the engine size, it woulda been easier.

300/302 = C4

360/390/460 = C6
