The seal and other likely spots is buried behind the converter so there is no direct visual. About all you can do is remove the lower bellhousing cover and feel around the trans side to see if any fluid or moisture is present. If the seal is leaking there should be a fluid trail or at least moist metal. Leaking from the pump shaft to converter gasket is possible too and that would also have moist metal. In any event a leak will need to be corrected and unless by some miracle it is a drain plug the trans will have to come out to access any other place.

This is what I was worried about. That would be a bummer. Is there any way to tell what is leaking without full dissasembly? Thanks
