Randy I have a similar issue as long as it has not been sitting for more than four days the car is fine, there after it's sure to leave a puddle.
It has a new pan seal and the cap was replaced. i'm not sure when the o-ring was replaced so hopefully that is the culprit.

The only time the cap gasket, the overflow hose at the top of the plastic reservour, or the O-ring on the shift cable leaks is after the car sits for several days, the check valve for the torque convertor leaks, and the oil level rises in the transmission. All three of these are above the "running" fluid level of the transmission and do not leak until the fluid level reaches them.

You are not speaking a foreign language. I completely understand.....and have, since your first post.

Thanks.
