Without opening it up there isnt much you can do. Front, rear seals on the tranny and a rear seal on the engine.

99 percent of the time its the front pump bushing that is behind the seal that the torque converter ride on.

If you don't want to go under there for quite some time, making sure the snout of the converter and the pump bushing are tip-top shape is necessary.
