<x-flowed windows-1255>Clean up all the ATF first. Put the car up on some jackstands.  Once 
everything is clean you can get someone to help you run the engine and 
put the tranny in gear. Find out where the ATF is comming from. Get a 
drop light, flash light or ? and find the leak. A little ATF lmakes a 
big mess. Once you have found the leak then you can figure where to start.
