most of the transmission fluid in any automatic is stored in the torque converter. If you Blazer has been sitting for a long time, the converter could have drained some of the fluid into the body of the transmission. There isn't much room in the trans body, so it has to go somewhere. There is a vent on top of the body of the trans, but most all of the seals can weep some fluid. I would suggest you fire that old girl up and run it down the road. Wash off the trans, and see if the leaks come back.
