How does the dipstick tube o-ring look? Mine never leaked much, until one night the o-ring finally swelled too much and let loose. Then it was almost a steady stream of oil from the oil pan.
My leak was bad enough it was a steady drip of oil from the o-ring with the engine running, even when the engine was cold. You'll probably have to run it to see if it's leaking from there.
It could be leaking from the pan a little too. My drips from the flywheel cover as well, and still leaks from the dipstick o-ring a little (I think the pieces are slightly warped, so the o-ring isn't sealing). You might be able to take the flywheel cover off and get a better look.
Well hopefully it was properly sealed up then! I haven't dealt with my oil leaks yet, mainly because they're not bad enough to justify removing the trans and possibly the motor to fix them.
