tranny leak

ok well today i got around to fixing my exhuast leak and puttin my valve covers on after the head swap, ive ran the car a few times before this to make sure everything is right. well this is my problem i looked under the car after running it for a few minutes and there is a decent size puddle on the ground and smells like tranny fluid.

i take a peek, sure enought my tranny is leaking now, i was wondering

is this having to do with anything i might have done while the head swap its not the filler tube, its right, its also dripping form the tranny lines that go to the cooler at the front of the car.

if its dripping from the tranny lines and your positive its not the dipstick tube ( if you pulled it out when you did the head swap and then put it back in its very possible you may have made a small puddle which then started to run off) then i think you've found your problem..try cleaning it off really well and then look for the leak.
