Leak O Matic trans

Wow, just started driving my new arrival, and the trans is leaking like a ....... The strange thing is it's all over the side of the frame rail floor board passenger side. I originally thought it was the dip stick as it was under the hood. Could be the lower dipstick tube or pan gasket, only leaks after I drive it. It appears it's happening below the pan, the converter looks dry...vent where's it at? I also read somewhere TSM maybe, that some thing could be too tight out of adjustment?   Help!

They also leak at the shifter shaft seal (driver side of the tranny above the pan rail) if the seal is worn or drived out.  It is basically an O-ring. They can leak at the front and rear shaft seals too, plus of course at the pan gasket.  Joe

Like I said it's on the passenger side, the fluid is low so it can't be the vent. The converter area is dry....its got to be were the dipstick enters the pan or pan gasket I've ordered a new trans filter and gasket and pressure washed to maybe help with location of the leak
