Default Diagnosing ATF Leak ('93 Infiniti G20)

I've noticed my G20 leaves behind a sizable puddle of ATF wherever it
is parked. This has been going on for a few months now. Oddly, I
haven't noticed a significant drop in ATF level on the dipstick. The
power steering fluid is also ok. Looking under the car, there is a
mess of ATF everywhere, all I can tell is that it's coming from
somewhere above the transmission pan.

The leak seems to happen only while the engine is hot (maybe only when
it's parked after driving for a while, if that's possible).

Anyone have any tips on diagnosing this, or ideas on what is leaking?

Thanks a lot.

dunno, I'd look for an overfill, x-mission fluid level rises when hot,
if that is the case - you are lucky all hell hasn't broke loose.

I had a x-mission "over-hall" done by a dealership's service dept.??,
and when I got home -

there was a double quantity of x-mission fluid in the x-mission, I drew
out a gallon

and still had adequate fluid, it makes you wonder just what the *******s
did for a 1000 bucks.
