Default Puddles

Hi,
I got a call from a friend at work yesterday. He said after I left he found a puddle of tranny fluid where my car was sitting. I checked this morning and there was a small puddle under the car. Has anybody ran into this ? Is this a common problem? I am guessing/hoping it is just a seal.

I had the same thing happen to my 91...saw the fluid on the garage floor. $237 later, I had the rear seal replaced and no more puddle. I understand this is a common ailment.

I got my puddle problem fixed. I was having the brakes done and had them look at it. It turns out it was the seal around the speedometer cable. The part was $70.00 but not much in labor.
