Very unusual for the trans fluid to move, it is usually the rear diff. fluid due to a dropped front end. You may be best to keep the fluid in the trans with a sealed rear bearing on the U-joint side of the trans. There is also a seal at the front of the torque tube that must be bad. Along with the seals inside the rear diff. axle housings. Do not use 600 W gear oil. Is your vehicle stored in a location that raises the front end of the vehicle?
