Hello,

Have you crawled under it to see if you can tell were it is leaking? If not do so, here are the most likely places...

Follow the CV Axles to the tranny there are seals were they go into it on both side.

Look were the tranny and engine block go together if it is leaking in that area it is likely to be the front seal on the tranny. And the tranny would have to come back out to fix.

Also check the drain and fill plugs, they may not have been tightened properly.
