Transmission Fluid Leaking

Just replaced my Transmission mount a couple of weeks ago. Now, I've got major leakage. What could be causing this. It never did it before I replaced the Transmission mount. Any thoughts?

Front seal, real seal, tailshaft, or fill holes can leak if they are worn.

Can you tell where the leak is originating?

How did you support the trans while you swapped out the mount?

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE

Paul,

I not quite sure. It looks like it may be coming from that Bell Housing cover. In regards to how the transmission was supported while changing the mount. Not sure, because I didn't actually do it myself. I'm taking it back to the shop that actually did the work for me tomorrow. Bottomline, it was leaking anything until after they replaced the Center mount.
