Default 04 700 sportsman transmission leaking

Hello I have a 2004 Sportsman and the tranny leaks and I can't find where it is coming from. The driveshafts are dry and the trans input is dry but it drips about 20 drips a day. Only the bottom of the trans wet and the plug is tight are these known to leak? Are their anyother bolts that fluid could come from. I've had the atv almost tore half apart and I cant find anything. My next step is to pull the tranny but I would rather not. Thanks for any sugestions

Still have small washer on 7/16" drain plug? Wash trans area put cardboard under,see if can find source of leak. Dont have many leak problems with sportsman transmisions.

My 03 700 loses much of its trans fluid everytime I go out. As Motorworld says everything that you can see looks dry. Only had 300 miles on her and I change the fluids all the time anyway. Its kind of depressing. It seems I spend more time making repairs than riding. And I just bought an 08 last year.
