I think you mean it won't *stop* leaking??

It could be coming from the overflow/vent tube. Make sure you are checking it when warmed up and on level ground. Sounds like it's got too much in it.

Make sure you are using a cork gasket, installed dry, on perfectly clean surfaces. Also check the seal where the shaft for the shifter goes into the case on the drivers side.

Check around the dipstick tube. The o-ring gets hard after a while, and it will leak. Also look at the cooler line fittings right above where the dipstick tube goes in to the tranny case.

Don't forget the tail end piece. I had a leaking one that I thought was the oil pan. They tend to split when over tightened.
