  Subject: Auto Tranny leaking

  We have a 87 GL with an automatic Transmission. We have taken the motor out and transmission out to replace several things to get it to stop leaking. 
      We took a trip in it a  couple of weeks ago and have to keep putting transmission fluid in it on a constantly. It was all over the back window and motor. Ordered a torque converter seal and he dropped the motor again to replace that. Put it back in and drove it around town and no leaks, but when we decided to head out on our trip to the Volunteer Bug Jam it started again(amongst over things). It is not leaking as bad as before, as we did not have to stop from Atlanta to Valdosta to put fluid in it. I have not even unloaded to check where it is on the drip stick yet. 
     Does anyone have any suggestions? We are going to try and fix this problem so we can sale it. I hate to do that, but we are really tired of having to fix things on it constantly.
