I am guessing he only R & R the valve body and did not R & R the transmission so did not need to mess with the converter.
Guess #2 the new valve body has boosted the PSI and the old front pump seal cant take it but just a guess.

If you talk to the guy that is doing the rebuild, he might give you some info on how the trans looked inside when he took it apart. And since they are doing the whole job, that is a good thing for you. The throttle cable adjustment is very important on this trans. If it's adjusted wrong it can burn up the trans in short order. So in this case that will be on them, don't touch that trans cable going to the throttle linkage.

Update folks: got vehicle back. The leak is gone but the shifting is not right. All shifts very late. Tv pressure has been confirmed correct with a gauge. Talked to shop and they said when they were rebuilding, the governor was sticking but that they cleaned and freed it up. I suspect the governor has stuck again. Unfortunately new one cannot be sourced so they’ll be swapping in another used governor.

I feel your pain.
Many years ago I had a 700R4 rebuilt and hardly got out of the drive and it would not shift out of first gear
Took it right back and with moto off run the throttle to the floor a few times and called it good.
It was and never had any issues till I sold it with 230K on it.
