Hi McGyver, my 300CE did the exact same thing after sitting for a few
months , I cleaned up the mess , topped up the fluid (let it sit) and a month or so later it puked it out again . deanyel was right I believe

The fluid drains out of the torque converter into the pan where it reaches a level that has an orifice with a seal, a very old seal, one that seals better when the car is used regularly. Plus transmission fluid is very thin - it creates a puddle that looks like more fluid than it really is. But you nevertheless have a nice leak going there. It's more likely one that leaks when the car sits than when the car is driven. But keep an eye on the fluid level. BTW, isn't this a 126 fluid leak?

My transmission had a year old rebuild when this first happened and when I spoke with my indy six months later he repeated what deanyel said about the torque converter emptying into the pan and causing the pan to leak. You may very well have a 'minor' front seal leak but this sudden appearance of oil is most likely the former not the latter. Good luck
