Transmission still leaking

Well its been a real long time since I have posted anything, but Im hoping to make time to post more. Anyway last week I replaced my front and rear transmission seals, they have been leaking for about a year so I finally made some time to change'em out. I also changed the filter, gasket and fluid. I drove the car about 10 miles checked the fluid level and it was fine, parked the car and checked on it two days later and their was fluid on the ground, WTF!! Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be, by the way the transmission is an auto. 700R.

Dry seals

I dont think that I put them on dry since some fluid was spilling a little from the converter I dont think that could be the poroblem. Can it be the dipstick rubber, it looked a little worn out.

Where exactly is it leaking from? Is it the rear main seal on the back of the transmission? If so, drop the driveshaft and see if you can wiggle the transmission input shaft around. If it is wiggling alot, then it is time for a transmission rebuild.

its coming from

the front the rear seal is fine, it seems to be coming from the front and it collects at the dust sheild for the converter. I have no idea, maybe like i said before it might be the dipstick rubber??? also the trans was rebuilt about 3 1/2 years ago, what do you think??
