Have you checked to see if the pan bolts are loose?
What kind of gasket did you use, cork, paper, etc?
You say the trans has had the front seal replaced, but was the pump resealed at the same time? There is an o-ring around the outside of the pump that can leak, as well as the bolts that hold the pump to the case. IF you are 100% certain the leak is NOT coming from the pan, I would suggest removing the dust cover, and looking to see if the leak is coming from the pump area. Normally, a front pump seal leak will show more on the passenger side, since the fluid gets slung over to that side with the engine running. A leak around the pump o-ring will simply run straight down, and then run along the edge of the pan.
I hope it's just the pan gasket leaking.
