I'm going to shoot this truck ... 9mm NATO style!
I find it strange that parked truck not running would drop that much fluid out of a pump seal, but stranger things have happend.
I have also seen the stock steel pans rust out from road salt and drop a ton of fluid on the ground. It pretty much happens all at once. That was even stranger.
I would think. that if you refilled the tranny and started the truck and put it in neutral, engaging the pump, you would spew fluid like a mad man. That is if the pan is solid.
I think you'll find it quickly enough.

Yeah, it came from my truck. I looked at the bell housing and it's for sure got pink trans fluid on it. Fluid isn't low, and hasn't been since I bought the truck. It was about a quart low before I bought it, put 1 quart in it about 2 months ago and it's still just about right where I left it so I know the leak can't be that bad. I just don't like leaking trucks, especially with a brand new $15,000 driveway.
Could it be the transfer case?
I say this because my transfer case leaks like a siev and I have a three by three oil spot under the truck as we speak

2wd, lol.
If I had my way I would have put down gravel, but I live in the 'burbs and they've got laws around here. Six car driveway + garage, 6" thick on a pretty steep grade for the first 1/2 of the driveway = expensive job. I wanted asphalt or gravel, and the city just wouldn't allow it. Pretty sure they've got their hands in the concrete business.
