I'm dealing with a similar issue. I can't seem to get to the top bolts on the bell housing. How did you get to them in order to drop the transmission, so I can see what is going on.

I pulled the distributor. That opened up all kinds of room.

So I pulled the transmission out tore it apart replaced the pump bushing,o-ring,gasket and torque converter seal. I put it all back together just to find my leak still there!!! I then tore it all back apart only to find the weld from the snout to the converter body is very poor quality and that's where my leak was coming from all along.
