Default Another leak

I went outside this moring to find a small puddle under my right under the front of the bell housing. Since I just put a new tranny in it, i figured heres my luck again, tranny leaking again. But I got up under it to find that the shield on the front of the bell housing was wet along with the back bottom part of the oil pan. But...when I looked close, it was green. Where would coolant me coming from for it to drip down the front of my bell housing?

it maybe comming from the heater hoses. but then a gain it maybe comming from your engine. I would check your oil for antifreeze. if none there then start your car anddrive it until it gets up to normal operating temp. if it keeps rising then pull over and look to see where the water iscommingfrom. usually after you drive it the leak will be obvious to you. it could be your headsor your intake leaking or maybe a craked block. before you drive it makesure that it has antifreeze in the system.
