Trans leak

Anyone notice if parked on an incline say 2% to 3% that your trans leaks.
I have always checked for leaks and never found any except twice. Both times were at buddies house that has a step incline down to his garage. When i back in I found a small puddle. Trans is leaking on right site dripping down the hosuing to where pan connects. Any ideas ? Guess i will take it to dealer.

Yes, Check to see if it is coming from the breather tube on top of the tranny. If it is just add a rubber hose and extend it up higher and tiestrap it off with the opening pointing down.

ALso could be from the dipstick o-ring. I believe it is in the same area.

Whats weird is that it is leaking at the highest point (front) when the truck is inclined and it is where the trans and engine join. Flat ground no leaks. I will check both.
