Leaking tranny fluid near the modulator

I noticed I was leaking transmission fluid, so I did the tranny service with a new pan gasket and new filter. I cleaned everything up under there so I could tell where it is coming from if the pan gasket did not solve the problem. As soon as I refilled the tranny with fluid, I could see a drip, and it looks like it is coming from above the pan gasket on the left side near the modulator. Any ideas what is there that would leak? I really cannot get a good look at it and may take it down to my indy and get the car up on the lift to have a better look. I sure would like to have an idea about what is going on before I take in. I am thinking that maybe it is the modulator O ring. I had the modulator out to inspect it a few months ago and it did not appear that there was any problem with the modulator or the O ring. I put it back in and believe I got it nice and snug. At least as snug as one can get with an allen wrench in that little space.
