I replaced the seal and its still leaking can it be the seal behind the front pump? Also at the top inside the housing was a hole is there supposed to be a plug in it?

That's peobly the weep hole, sounds over filled. Drive it a lot in stop and go traffic, really let it get up in temp then check the level it in neutral. I filled it while just idling for a while but after youdrive it the temps go up. I checked it then and it was way overfilled.

Front pump seal. I've thought it from the start but held back hoping it was something minor. It will get worse and, eventually, will lose all your fluid in 30 seconds. While there has been much debate, in my dealer shop experience, it is mostly caused from being worn out due to high mileage or extreme use, or being kept over full for too long. But just think, you can get a new tranny now and upgrade that one.
