Need input on leaking trans

[04mysticvert]

I had my trans rebuilt after 5-6 syncronizer assembly went out. After install I put 3 quarts of trans fluid. Soon after initial start I noticed a leak coming from the 3 holes on the bottom of the bell housing. What is causing this leak?:shrug:

What color is the fluid leaking out?

What color is the fluid you used for the transmission?

If they are the same it is likely a bad input shaft seal.

Thanks for the info, the fluid was intially the same color, but after driving the car it became darker. I put 3.5 quarts of fluid, did I use too much? I had read on this forum some people using 4 quarts.

Guess i'll crawl back under and pull the trans this evening and have someone to check the seals....

I just swapped my trans fluid two weeks ago in my 04 Cobra. 3.5 is'nt to much as long as the fluid was originally drained properly. I put just over 3.5 quarts (Royal Purple) in mine when swapping the fluid.
