Unhappy Tranny fluid leak by front of car can't find it help!

hey guys I have a tranny fluid leak more toward the front of the car but I can't find the leak.
Give me some ideas on where to look.
It only leaks when the car sits for 4-5 days and don't leak at all when I dd the car and it will only leak about a half of ounce or so.
Also my fluid was about a half of quart low and I dident know it and when the car was still a little cold I got on it a little and the tranny felt like it sloped a little and it shifted out of second early at about5k rpm but it was fine after it got hot and it shifted the was it's suposed to
So is the low fluid to blame?
Thanks guys and let me know what you come up With.

Probably a cooler line. They run from the trans to the radiator on the passenger side. And yes low fluid level can cause slipping, but I doubt a half quart would do it. You may also want to check your coolant and trans fluid to make sure the radiator didnt crack and cross contaminate.
