Default 3200 Stall and Now a Tranny Leak

Hey guys, I installed a Yank 3200 stall and now Im having a transmission leak problem. Yall think it is probably the front seal where I ran the converter up on there? I've heard about that happening if you hit the seal the wrong way or something. The thing is, I cant really see where it is coming from, but there are two drips on the two little inspection ports on the bottom of the tranny... This sucks though huh? I dont really feel like taking that thing down again. It was a pain in the *** when you dont have a lift. Could the leak be coming from anywhere else? Is there something I could put in the fluid to help it not leak? How bad is this for the tranny? can it hurt it or the converter at all or just be annoying? thanks guys

its more then likely the seal. its always a good idea to change in with a converter swap.

If you want to keep topping off the trans it will go for a while, but why risk the transmission. The only good fix is to replace the seal.

well... i will probably at least leave it untill i get back to college from xmas break. Then we will see... I wiped it off yesterday and then when i drove it today there were a couple more drips. I guess its possible it could be old fluid, but i doubt it.

Trust me. Don't just keep topping it off. I've been doing that and now I need clutches

you think that is because of the leak problem or just too much power running through the trans? why would the leak cause that? because they arent getting enough fluid pumped to them? thanks
