c6 problems

My FMX trans used to leak when parked for a few days. I always figured it was because the torque converter drains down and allows the fluid level in the trans pan to raise above the pan gasket seal. To cure my problem, I changed the pan gasket. But there are other seals that could be leaking like the rear seal (an easy Fix), the trans shift selector seal and the front seal (not an easy fix).

Have you wiped the area clean and then looked to see where the oil is actually dripping from?

if it leaks out of the front it could be the pump seal or the o-ring around the pump. mine leaked out of the front but it didn't have to sit very long. i currently have it out and have found that many of the front seals were beginning to go
