i have the same problem...if it's between the tranny and engine and it is tranny fluid, it is the output shaft seal i think it's called, inside the tranny. If it is motor oil between the tranny and engine it is crankshaft seal...hope i help

If you just topped off your transmission fluid, it's leaking out of the diff because it's overfilled. It's designed that way.

Wrong, look at your fill hole in relation to the bottom of your axle seals and tell me that this statement makes any sense?

OP, you need to replace your axle seals. Thats will solve your leak.

Fluid leaking from seals can not and will not tell you the state of the trans internals. Are you experiencing trans related problems? Grinds, popouts, etc? If it's just fluid leaking, replace your seals and enjoy...

Gotta start with the simple stuff. Axle seals, big axle nut socket or whatever fits, hammer, and a steady hand. Quit over-thinking the problem, it'll help you sleep at night.
