Default Leaking motor oil, TC cause it?

Okay, I'm a bit worried, I'm swapping y-pipes and had my car parked for about an hour. There's a pretty good amount of oil sitting below my car. I am wondering, on my 15k miles car, where would it be leaking from? I did a torque converter swap, but it appears to be mostly forward from the bell housing. That's the closest thing I could have done personally. Has anyone had this problem? Will a TC swap do that?

If the engine dropped in the rear with the trans out, the oil sensor in the back of the block deck could have contacted the firewall and fractured. You always have to make sure that the engine is supported when pulling the trans. The TC itself should have no effect on a main seal.
