update i have had time to go under and look n listen .... sounde like in the tranny ... o yea wazz it meen when there is fresh fluid resadue on the bell houseing.... torq converter going out?

i would retighten all the torque converter bolts . well check the converter bolts u might be about to loose the bolts . use some green loc tite when u put them back in .

 

[Murdoch]

the leak sounds like a front shaft seal, not the TQ. on the noise check the tightness of your tourqe converter bolts, but usually they are real lound when they get loose
shawn

could be pump in the trans too and that seal is known to leak . u will have to yank the tranny out to replace that seal

When you are checking the torque convertoer bolts look very carefully at the flex plate and make sure it is not cracked. I just put a new motor in mine and when disconnecting the TQ bolts I noticed a hairline crack. When I had it out I could barely find it but it was there. Mine used to make a clicking sound when I torqued on the motor/tranny like the sound that you are describing. Inspect very carefully and take your time.
