Wheres the leak? Transmission Question

[John 333]

95 XLT-4.0-Auto Trans
Just noticed today that I have a transmission fluid leak. It's dripping from where the tranny hooks up to the engine. This tranny was rebuilt 17 months ago. Mileage is 80,500 miles. Less than 6,000 on rebuild. What is the most likely part of the tranny that has developed the leak? Is there a seal that was not properly installed that could be causing this? I assume that the tranny will have to be dropped to fix this. If it is a seal this should not be that big of a problem to fix? Thanks for the advice!

I beleive that would be the front seal, and yes it will need to be dropped to be fixed. I suggest you get it fixed ASAP because I have heard horror stories about the front seal going all at once and spewing all of the tranny fluid out and destroying the tranny.
