Default Need help

I just acquired a 1983 Blazer S10. It had not been driven since 2005. All it needed to start was fresh fuel and a new battery. It has 163000 miles and runs really well. I have had the oil changed and all fluids refilled. I noticed the gears were changing slowly and the transmission fluid was low for the second day in a row. I placed a large piece of white cardboard under the truck and added more fluid. The fluid stated pouring out underneath the truck. It appears to be coming out directly under the fluid tube. I did this while the truck is warm and running. When I turned the truck off the leak stopped. I am a 60 yr old woman, and don't have the knowledge or ability to repair this myself, but would like to have an idea of what to expect when I take it to the repair shop. Thanks for any advice you guys can give me.

sounds like a loose trans cooler line. thats why it does it only while its running. If you or someone can look at them and see if they are tight. it might save you some money.
