Leaks only when it's leaning...
I have a 700R4 transmission in a 92RS 3.1 V6..what would cause it to leak only when the car is parked and leaning to the passenger side(car off)?...the leak seems to be coming from the torque converter shield.I tightened the pan bolts as they were a bit loose all the way around but I still lose about 2 or 3 ounces at least when it leaks...any help guys would be appreciated!!!!!

The seal for the dip stick tube and the seal for the TV cable are on that side of the trans.

I checked the TV housing and it was dry like the dipstick at the tranny, it seems to be between the rear of the oil pan and the TCC cover at the botttom like it's inside the cover itself.

That would be the front pump seal. Not sure why it would only leak while the car is leaning. But I wouldn't be surprised.

Probably cause it's my first camaro 
...driving home yesterday I got a code 33,42,43, the map sensor was swapped with a known good 1.Not sure of the other codes,the EST was connected and I have to find the knock sensor and check for bad connection(hopefully),these cars do keep you busy,but better in looks and parts price than my 91 eclipse.
