I had the same thing happen after a tranny rebuild in my TR3
We got some dye at NAPA that can be seen using a blacklight
We filled the tranny, put the dye in and cleaned it well
Ran it for a couple hundred miles and easily found the leak(s)- several =
leaks
Pulled the tranny, brought it back to the shop that rebuilt it and the =
fixed it while I waited
Been fine now for a couple of years
