What causes a tranny to week a bit of fluid out the torque converter hole? Not much, I see a drop hanging there ever time I park and not really lossing any according to the guage stick.

Probably the seals. There's alot of pressure in there.
I had an invisible hairline crack in a converter's snout and ATF slung everywhere.

Thanks. Probably caused by that B&M shift firmness switch and little firmness circuit I've had on for 8 years. The B&M low setting (not off) was a little too weak so I added a small circuit to increase it a bit more but less than the "firm" setting. Oh well, not a bad leak, never actually leave a spot (but then again tranny fluid dries).
