Transmission leak

I went out today and looked under my 65' coronet and saw transmission fluid on the ground. I haven't driven it in a few weeks and when it was parked the transmission wasnt leaking. It just started leaking this morning. What could cause it to leak?

could leaving it in neutral for a couple of days cause that? i realized that it started leaking after it was left in neutral.

Where is it leaking from? The pan or one of the lines to the rad?

Have you looked under the car???? There are "o" rings all over the trans and lines and fittings. Just get under there and look. How could anyone possibly tell you where it is leaking from?

I recently fixed a problem like this. Had a cheap chrome trans pan made from china or something that I installed. Sure it looked good, but man it leaked like hell. A guy that new abit more about this type of stuff said the cheap chrome plated crap made oversea's always leaked. Went with an aluminum pan with a deeper sump and never had any problems after that.
