Is this an auto trans or a manual trans. Is the fluid pinkish/red or brown/black. If it is an auto trans, the cooler lines may be leaking, check where the rubber line is crimped onto the hard lines at the front corner just behind the upper cam cover. Just ran into that with mine. I replaced all the front seals, head gasket, oil cooler gaskets and checked power steering lines ( all dry ) . FOund the trans cooler lines sweating fluid when under a load and the pressure increased. I ran my hand under the lines and found a drip on the bottom. they wer easy to replace with fuel line and clamps. In hind sight, i believe there is an old service message for the hose that goes from the power steering resivoir to the pump leaking fluid ( updated hose style) . Check the clamps and hoses.
