	There are quite a few places that your tranny can be leaking that
are repairable with it in the car:
	
	1.The pan gasket.( I know you had it replaced , but sometimes
          they can be tough to get right)

	2.The shift-shaft seal. Located where the gear selector lever
          mechanism enters the tranny. Both Mac and Snap-on make a special
          tool to change it with the tranny in the car.

	3.The tailshaft seal . Where the driveshaft enters the tranny. Easy.

	4.The govenor cover seal. Some are easy ,some are not .Round cover
          near the rear . Some have a spring clip that holds them on. There
          is a rubber O-ring on some that gets old and brittle.
     
        5.The gasket where the front and rear housings meet. Not real easy,
          but it can be done.

        6.The cooling line fittings and lines . Piece of cake.

	7.The vent tube. Usually a result of overfilling.

        8.The dipstick/filler tube O-ring . Another easy one.

     So how do you know which one to change ? Put the car on ramps ,take off
the flywheel cover and spray down the whole tranny with GUNK engine cleaner.
Hose it off , get it real clean . Then crank that bad boy up and with the brake
pedal held down hard , put it in gear and  rev against the brakes. Shut it down
 and go under it to see where the leaks are . If it is a slower leak ,you may
have to drive it a little.

                                       HAPPY MOTORING !
