just started it a couple of days ago when its hot it leaks, not much but enough to worry me any suggestions cars arent my thing but I do keep regular maintance with both of my cars.
 
Caravans have two common issues pertaining to transmission fluid leaks. The transmission lines leak and the transmission pan gasket and transmission side cover gaskets tend to leak. Have it checked before you run the transmission low on fluid. I would suspect the transmission pan gasket is leaking, this is the most common repair for that vehicle and should run you approx. $125.00 parts and labor. If it is time to flush the transmission fluid do this as well, approx. $125.00 additional.
 
more than likely the tranny pan gasket. once you shut it off, the fluid sinks back into the pan, normally sitting above the gasket, causing it to drip if the gasket is worn or cracked.
