Leaking trans fluid on top

Hey guys i know it may be a long shot but just wanted some ideas/thoughts
so my maxima seems to be leaking trans fluid from the top of the transmission i know its the top because there was fluid by the starter and a puddle under it and some over some other things on top i just wanted some like recommendations on what to look at
what ive done to the max is changed the torque converter recently
but heres some back story so far of what i have noticed
only time it leaks is when im going freeway speeds(driving freeway) when i drive street speed it doesnt leak and today may 9th confirmed that
on may 8th i drove street and didnt have a leak at all i checked 5 times in that day just to be sure and yup nothing but in may 9th i drove on the freeway and bam sweet smell , i get home and im leaking .
thanks guys I appreciate it and hope for some help
