I just acquired a 96 mustang convertible v6 automatic. The engine was replaced with an 00. after a little while of driving it it began to have starting issues. That is good now but it is bleeding out . major transmission fluid leak. It is pouring from above the starter and possibly out the inspection hole for torque converter. Cooler lines maybe?

I moved this to the tech forums, sounds like a torque converter seal.

Thank you! As much as I don't want to think about that, you are most likely correct.

It happens sometimes with a engine change, inspect the seal surface on the torque converter if/when you pull it apart.
