Transmission leaking

Transmission leaking
I have a 1991 F150 with a v8 and an auto transmission. The problem is when the vehicle is driven for more than 5-10 minutes(enough for the temp gauge to start moving) the transmission fluid will begin leaking from the bottom front of the tranny near the black rubber cover. Maybe just a coincidence but I really did not notice the problem until after I had the transmission flushed(hook up machine and flush tranny fluid through transmission while vechicle is running) at a local auto shop. I have checked the fluid and the level is still within the normal range according to the dipstick. As much fluid that has leaked, it appears that the tranny was overfilled during the service. Well the leaking continues and the level is slowly dropping. It has been at least six months since I had the service done, I don't drive the truck much so I don't see the problem too often. I guess I should start by taking it back to the shop and having them make sure what they did is not causing this problem. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to sell this truck and would like to know what a possible buyer may be facing here.
