So did you replace torque converter front seal in the torque converter housing and torque converter oring on the end of the input shaft?Also was the seal leaking before you replaced it?

Replaced the o ring on the torque converter and the o ring on the front shaft and replaced the seal. It was leaking before I replaced it, then after I put it together it did not leak for about 10 minutes, running it on jack stands. Then it started leaking again. Thanks you for your response. Russ

I would make sure the torque converter didn't have any bur's where it goes into the seal also make sure you didn't damage the the seal putting it back together.I have seen some saturn S model's have pourus case's and leak.I would added some transmission dye to the fluid run it till the dye come's out with the leak then take it back apart so you can follow the dye to the leak that's how I find the hard to find leak's. Let me know what you find.
