Are you checking it at idle, while in park?

Mine does the same thing. It's fine when you check it idling but after it sets for a while (not running) the level goes way over full and it leaks.

The snout of the converter is above the pan and yes, after a few minutes/hours, the fluid above the snout will drain back into the pan. That is the reason the dipstick says to check in park or neutral at idle and warm.
