Bizzare Trans Leak HELP
Drove the car last night, alls well. Start car this morning pull out of garage on an angle instead of straight like I usually do. Back car into garage so I can detail, and find a line of trans fluid and a small puddle when I get out. Jack back of car up to see if I can find out where it is coming from. A drip is coming from what looks like is the trans pan gasket in front of spring. Start car up and a small steady stream of fluid starts flowing. Shut car off and make some calls, told it was probally pump seal, more money. So I start car back up after lowering off jack and park car back in its spot, no fluid leaking. so I decide to drive around block a couple of times to see if it will leak again, it don't. So I decide to drive around close to home and nothing, not even a drop. Any ideas what this is or what caused it and shoud I be concerned?

I might not be a lot of help, But if it leaked like you said, I would be concerned even though it stopped. Maybe the car was sitting for some time and the seal dried out? and after driving it softened up and sealed again. Any leak isn't right. Maybe you can try to make sure the bolts are tight.
Just my opinion.
