Last year when going on vacation the tranmission started leaking fluid, not
slipping now if we drive it over 70 miles it starts leaking again does good
just running it around town . Any suggestions other than a new transmission
leak is coming from the front seal.

Same thing happened twice on my '92. Only advice I can give you is
to get the front seal fixed if you want to keep driving it. Last time
I did it was about a year ago and it cost around $750 at the Ford
dealer where I get my service work done.

As a last ditch effort before spending hundreds, buy a can of
Transmission seal conditioner and let it work it's magic for a month
or so. It might stop the leak if the seal is worn but not cracked.
Years ago the trick mechanics used was to put a pint of brake fluid in
the transmission as a seal conditioner.
