My transmission is leaking after I had engine changed out by mechanic shop. After a few days of driving my car with the rebuilt engine I noticed a oil burning smell it was dark so I parked it. In the morning I checked the ground and did not see anything. once I took it to get a wheel alignment they told me I had a transmission leak. I want to know where the leak is coming from and can I fix myself because they will not assume liability?

May be a loose fitting for the transmission oil cooler. If the leak is from the bell housing, it may be a torque converter seal leaking. Have these inspected first.

Took to mechanic first he said torque converter seal so he changed it. Then it was still leaking now he is saying some type of bushing?

There is a front support bush for the torque converter, if this is worn the torque converter seal often will not seal properly, it is not a huge job to replace but the transmission will have to be removed again, it is not something that would be replaced with a front seal leak problem under normal circumstances.
