Is the leak between the transmission and the engine block?

No, from what I can tell it's not. The seal was replaced and it's leaking from there.

Are you refering to the seal in the front of the transmission (front seal)? If so, that is what I was refering to too. Chances are the seal is bad again if they didn't replace the torque converter. The shaft on the converter passes through the seal and connects to the front pump. If the seal is bad again, something must be bad there. Often times, the converter wears from spinning against the seal. As a result, even a new seal won't stop the leak. Next concern is the not moving. If the front pump or the torque converter is bad, it won't move.

Let me know if the seal I'm refering to sounds like the one you had replaced. It will cause a leak between the trans and the engine.

Let me know.
