Default Transmission Leaking Fluid

I am having trouble locating a leak off the transmission.

I have changed the trans pan gasket and that is not it. It appears to be leaking somewhere around the backside of the car (transmission side facing the back of the car). It is leaking on the frame cross bar and dripping off of it. Is there a hose possibly that could be leaking? Suggestions on trying to track it down?

A picture would probably help.

It is dripping in multiple areas on the bar left of the transmission pan in this picture (frame bar nearest exhaust resonator):

Could it be coming out the passenger axle seal? How loud did it get removing that resonator?

That's not my picture (Google), but I just wanted to show you were it was dripping/leaking from.

does it leak causing a puddle when you are parked overnight even after cooling down or does it just leak while driving or?

Id get a couple of cans of brake cleaner and just soak it up all over that area... clean it up... then you will be in a much better spot to see where the leak is coming from.

It leaks overnight and while driving. It is about a quart every 2 weeks or so.
