Thanks for all the advise on the stop leak, right now it leaves a spot 
about the size of a silver dollar overnight, so my immediate fix is to 
put a piece of OSB under the car, while I research options.

Best regards,

You don't mention if you have the I4 or V6 in that car. I assume you're seeing the oil weep out of the bellhousing cover between the block flange and trans. bellhousing? Is it possible it could be coming from other areas? That's why I suggested TN as another opinion.
