Front tranny seal. If the converter has a drain plug its possible it is is loose.

While sitting in traffic today, my 2000 expy leaked all the tranny fluid. Someone walked up to me and told me that fluid was leaking under my truck. When I looked, I saw the tranny fluid literally gushing out till it ran dry. Thing is, I just had a transmission service a month or so ago. What the hell could this be now, grrr? I love this truck, so hopefully this won't cost me a kidney and spleen to fix. Any ideas what to expect that might be causing the leak. Tomorrow I plan fill it with fluid and try driving it to my mechanic or get it towed. Don't want to mess up anything to make it worse.
