Default 4A transmission fulid level

How do you check fluid level on an 4A transmission? I found a small puddle of what apears to be transmission fulid on the floor and the power steering unit is full.

You must get it up in air and level, at temp, engine running and remove the check/fill plug. Engine running is essential or you will have a large puddle. Where was the puddle? The tranny is a long ways from the power steering unit.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't thinking about the distance from tranny and the power steering unit. I will have pay more attention to where the puddle is if it happens again. Thanks again. Tom
