stupid tranny leak

Ok I need help from all you trans gurus sinse I have no clue when it comes to them. I have a new 700R4 with maybe 2000 miles on it. When my car is moving I have a leak, but when it is in park it doesnt leak. I started my car and ran it for 20 minutes and there was no leak. I went around the block and came back and parked it and looked under the car and there is a slow constant drip. I would say for every 100 miles I drive Im losing a quart of fluid...any ideas?...thanx....D2M4E.

P.S.
This is what I get for converting it from a 5-speed.

Out of the front, pan, back? It might be the pump seal, might be the front seal, maybe pan gasket not sealing 100%, rear seal could have been damaged when installing driveshaft. Loose tranny line into tranny? Clogged vent-is it draining down dipstick tube?

Mine leaked like a sive when I first got it back and I thought it was the front seal from when I installed the new stall, after I pulled the 700 and installed the 350 it ended up being the pump seal that was bad.

My idea would be to clean it off real good, put it up on stands or ramps, and watch it to see where it's coming form, and fix it.
