Hey Loretta,

When pulling the engine on an auto, it helps to push
back the torque convertor when you seperate the
engine/tranny, as it is full of trans fluid.  There is
also a torque convertor seal - sounds like perhaps you
ripped that during your efforts.

If indeed you need to replace this seal, don't pull
the engine.  Its much easier and less time consuming
to pull the tranny.
