Possibly a cracked case between the trans and engine, On things like this I use a shop vac on "blow" mode and stick it into a fill hole, use soap and water mix to look for the leak. In your case or situation I would drain engine oil,remove top cover stick the vac into the trans fill hole (you can size it with tape), then start looking for the leak.
