Small ATF leak from front of built tranny

Gents:

I recently had my tranny built with a Goerend VB and triple disc clutch and billiet input shaft. Done at the local Dealer. They installed a Mag Hytech DD pan on the tranny.

In the am when I pull out or after a long ride there seems to be a couple of drops of atf on the ground just under the bell housing.

My questions is... Does the tranny eject atf when slightly overfilled?

PS The tech who built my tranny has done 100s of them (not a good sign is it) and replaced all seals etc.

Some times even highly qualified mechanics make an error. You have a leaking pump or seal. Take it back, show them the leak, if their a reputable business they should take care of you for nothing.

Are you sure its ATF? Could it be antifreeze? There is an overflow tube for the antifreeze that has two clamps that are known to become loose. Look in front of the bell housing on the passenger side. There will be a tube about 1" diameter (?) with two clamps. Just a thought.

There's also a seal where the filler tube connects to the tranny. I had a leak a few months ago and that's where it was coming from. Easy fix.
