Sudden auto trans leak after checking fluid level

91 X-cab auto trans/V6.I just checked my trans fluid today and had a problem getting the dipstick back in but it finally went back in with a little force.After I put it back in,fluid started leaking very heavily everywhere.I did'nt see any coming out of the dipstick where it meets the trans. and cant really figure out where it's coming from.Could I have done something wrong when I put the dipstick back in?The trans runs excellent other than this sudden leak.This happed right before I had to be at work.Excellent timing!!I appreciate any help.

Find where the leak is coming from .

I can only guess you moved the tube to trans connection enough to cause a leak
