Default Son of a $#@%^

ok, well I have a 94 ford escort, 1.9L sefi....

I just got it and decided to do a tune up, changed everything(thanks to haynes manual), recently i changed the auto trans fluid/filter, you have to use a jack to lift up on the tranny to slide the pan out from the drivers side, so it will clear the crossmember...i did that anyway my prob is a very very small amount of trans fluid is leaking out everynight from the tranny, not the pan, its right where the tranny connects to the flywheel....
(or right near the peep hole)...WTF could it be?....no major seals in there right?...besides the inner seal right? you think i could have damaged that when i raised it up?...any imput is appreciated..i know nothing of domestics but i have the general idea of motors...

have fun w/those axles, if they've never been removed they are whores to get out lol. Do like they do at the dealerships and just pull the engine/tranny as one piece and work on it, much quicker than you think That's what I do with my escort when I'm working on it You can wedge that auto out of there if you want but it's a tight fit and you'll spend alot of time pushing and pulling All depends on how many tools you have, and how much you want to dig for that leak, though.
