Just a guess but I would think that the fluid is leaking from the torque converter seal. When you replaced the flywheel did you remove the torque from the trans. shaft? If you did it is easy to nip the seal when putting it back in place. Also I assume you do not overfill the trans. as this could cause what you describe.

No I did not remove the converter and i fill it to where it says on dip stick.....just thought of something ill check to see if dip stick tube is all the way in...if not and it up a little that would over fill when on the marks
