Torque Converter Leaking

So I noticed a leak last night so I pulled my cover for the Flywheel and Torque Converter. I have Transmission Fluid running down my Torque Converter. Any ideas on where it might be coming from? My ideas are the Converter itself or the spline shaft coming out of the Transmission. I suppose I will have to drop the tranny to fix this problem?

The car has been sitting for almost 10 years and everything on this car is leaking now that fresh fluids are being introduced again. Kind of expected. You think this might be one of those leaks that could seal up once the seals get saturated?

Although there is a lucrative industry selling products "guaranteed to restore your dry, cracked seals to pliable perfection!", in my experience when a seal ages over time without lubricant -- it's shot.
