Pull the inspection cover off and look for any fluid leaks up behind the convertor. It's not a cheap fix. Cheap 20 buck seal but the tranny needs to come out to replace it. Likely a 3 hour job. Close to 300 to fix.
Your leak could be coming from the shift selector shaft on the side of the tranny instead. Again a 5 buck seal but you need a 40 dollar seal puller to fix. And then it'll leak again in 2 weeks. Ultimate cure is have a tranny shop remove and polish the shaft and install a new seal along with a new filter, pan gasket and fluid. Just did mine both ways. Was 200 for the ultimate cure.
