727 Transmission Front Seal Leak

I have a pretty good leak coming out of the bell housing on my 727 on my 1969 Coronet. It leaks when I get the car good and hot and seems to stop leaking when the car sets and cools off. I have a event I was hoping to go to this weekend and drive the car. Is there anything I can do or check without dropping the transmission and replacing the seal just to get by this weekend?
Its so tight and hard to see into the bell housing I cant get a good look at where its coming from.

I have a A833 transmission that will be going in this car after this weekend so I really was not wanting to put alot of time and money into this leak if I can keep from it. However I will do what I need to do to keep the car safe and from catching fire.

If it doesn't leak as soon as you turn it on its probably not the front seal. It could be coming out the vent at the top of the pump. I will usually leak when hot because the clutches are slipping and causing the transmission to overheat and push fluid out the vent. You might manual shift it to get by for the weekend, it may help some.
