Default I need Tranny advise

I just bought an 88 vette and the previous owner had to have transmission work done. I drove it home yesterday and everthinh was fine. Then I took it out again and transmission fluid was runing out of the drain hole in the torque converter cover. The warmer it is and the faster the engine is revved the more fluid comes out. Would this be pump gasket? or the front seal? Any input is appreciated.

Welcome to Corvette Forum Brookman!

Sounds expensive to me $$$$ Line pressure too high and/or stuck between gears. I would advise previous owner to warranty tranny with shop as if he never sold it.
Good luck
Mike
