leaking fluids

When i park my car in the garage and back it out, the last 5 or 6 days theres a small puddle of tranny fluid (smells like tranny fluid anyway) not very big at all, but still its there. Any suggestions where it could be leaking from? thanks.

I have the very same problem in my 1994 Trans Am. I was told in the Drivetrain section that it is the rear seal on the tranny where the driveshaft meets the tailshaft. I will let you know after I narrow down the leak this weekend.

Retorque your pan bolts and see if that takes care of the leak. Did with mine.

Most common places for the slush boxes to leak are the front seal, the rear seal, and the pan. Where is the puddle in relation to the transmission?

CamaroSS30thAnn, did you have a bad drive shaft or something? You might want to look into having the DS balanced and see if you need new Ujoints.
