The leak doesn't seem to be a coincidence. It wasn't leaving a large puddle like this the last several months. I replaced the trans gasket a year or two ago. I have a deep cast aluminum pan which sealed pretty well. The drip seems to be from the gasket at the back of the TC/ driveshaft. I have my truck off the street now and I'll try to find a better place to store it. This truck is my back-up vehicle in case one of my others needs to be red-lined for something. I do have some spare parts; like tail light lenses, so that's one thing I can take care of. Thanks for the response.
