Automatic Transmission Question

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a simple question about a 727 in my 64 Plymouth.  The car is on 
the edge between a parts car and a driver and currently it is not being 
driven often.

When it sits for a few weeks I have to keep a pan under the 
transmission, I'll get a good puddle of trans fluid.

I finally put it on jack stands and decided to try to find the leak.  I 
have the car level as it would be on the wheels.  I checked the fluid 
running in neutral and it was 1/2 pint low.  I checked the oil level 
after a couple of weeks without starting it and now it is 2 1/2" above 
the full mark.

Is this normal and if not is the torque converter leaking down and 
overfilling the transmission?  

So far I have not had the time to get under the car and try to find 
where it is leaking from.

Thanks
Dennis C.
