Default Tranny leak!!!!!!!!!
Well I just got my rebuilt tranny back in saturday and i've already had to pull it out once since because the guy didnt tighten one of the front pump bolts and it was leaking fluid like crazy. Well i got the tranny back in again and now it seems to be leaking fluid from around where the big plug in is on passenger side by the servo. Its been in the garage all night and all day and it leaked out enough to cover a 2ft square.How do you go about sealing that up?

On a good note the tranny shifts nice and firm.

Make sure the plug is fully pulled through the case , It comes through from bottom , Then determine where its leaking , Is the fluild coming from around the plug , If so you will need to replace the O ring , But they are also known to leak through the center where the pins come through and in that case you will need to replace the harness, Unplug the harness and see if its full of fluild.

Well i just determined that its not pulled through the case. I'm thinking that one of the tabs that hold it through the case is broke. I tried to pull it through but couldnt get it. Would it hurt to use pliers or something to get a hold of it better? I didnt want to use pliers and break it tho.
