Transmission Leak

i've been trying to get a good look at it but it's difficult, so i degreesed it today and two other areas.., then i tapped some paper around three suspect sites, in the morning i hope the stained paper may help me pin point the exact place...,

But that wont give the h reading on a cold engine. Sounds like the oil isn't circulating. Any oil in the radiator? the cooling pipes in them could be cracked.

about 20,000 k's..., but i doubt it's a blocked filter

Seal on top of the filter didn't close off the hole did it?

The fluid level should be checked warm.
So some fluid does return to the pan when switched off but not heaps. A lot still stays in the box. But from memory there's an extra mark on the dipstick for the cold parked level.
Yes the fluid circulates through the bottom of the radiator. There's a little heat exchanger in there.
I agree there's a lot of rip offs in the transmission industry. They think they are above the law.

Grab yourself a new seal like this.

Dipstick is not welded to transmission, sounds like it's over filled when you remove the dipstick tube fluid will come out.
