If it is trans fluid leaking, and you feel it is from the front seal, you have to remove the transmission. The torque converter slides into the seal and can't be removed without removing the trans first. If this is the case, make sure the torque converter (where is sits in the seal) has no wear marks. If it does, you can replace a hundred seals and they will all start leaking shortly after replacement.

Let me know if this answers your question, or if it is something different.
