Hi mate
have you put the torque converter on the engine ? if so you may have damaged the oil seal in the box !
you need to take torque converter of the engine and gently put it in the gear box turn it by hand and you will feel it slot in and engage on the pump then fit the engine to the box. turn the starter plate and bolt to torque converter
