Does my tranny have a leak or am I stupid?

I just went to fill my newly installed t56 with fluid from the shifter hole and it leaked right out the back of the tranny where the driveshaft goes ( the driveshaft is not installed). Is there a bad seal or is this because the drive shaft isn't in?

You have a seal that goes around the dr shaft when its installed. No dr shaft no seal.

I admit it was a massive fatal brain fart!!! I put the driveshaft in and no leaks.
