I'm gonna continue to drive the rest of the week, as I'm usually riding my Harley to work, to see if it continues to leak. I'm hoping it was just the stress of the added 7000 lbs. That made the fluid push passed the seal.

Incidentally, I've never seen any of the leakage that you are describing and as you can imagine, I've pushed it pretty hard.

Update. I hauled the camper 60 miles on the intestate at about 60-65 mph. Got off on my exit to check things out. The tranny was puking out the tube like hell. I shut it down to let her cool off. When it stopped dripping I checked the fluid and made sure it was in proper operating range. The rest of the way to my deer camp is all 2 lane. 50-55 on the 2 lane and didn't leak a drop. Think I'll invest in an external trans cooler and be done with it.

Check your flow through the rad trans cooler first. Like mine, if it is partially blocked you won't get enough flow to the external cooler either.
