Transmission leaking
I have replaced the trans gasket already. I know its not leaking from the pan. Its coming from the rear of the trans around the mount. It only leaks when its hot after driving. Is there any other place that I should check?
Thanks

There should be a tail shaft bushing and it will need fluid to keep it lubricated otherwise there would be an internal seal.

What model tranny do you have? Is it four wheel drive?
