You probably will not have any further leaks if your truck is driven regular. Fluid will flow from the converter back into the trans pan causing higher levels in the trans case causing fluid to leak pass the inner rear housing o ring that prevents trans fluid from seeping along the output shaft/driveshaft splines. My truck sets up quite awhile sometimes so I just silicone or Jb welded on the little weep hole in the yoke shut. I do know that this hole was put there for a vent when the yoke slips in and out of the trans but I never had trouble from doing this.
