hard to fix expensive? makes sense cause it stops leaking when cars off. Thanks for quick response.

The transmission has to come out to replace the front seal. Keep in mind that GM used JUNK teflon coated pump bushings in these. They are very known for literally falling out of the pump. We always replace them with regular babbit bushings when we build them. This means that simply replacing the front seal MAY NOT fix the leak.
Other places it could leak from...pump bolts, pump o-ring, or torque converter hub weld.

It sounds like it's going to be coming from one of the areas I mentioned in my last post.
