Gear Fluid Smell In Car After Tranny Change

Ok I changed the tranny fluid in my car cause its got a 135k on it and I dont think its ever been done. So I change the fluid and I get a horrible smell of gear fluid in the car. So I put it back up and see its leaking from a few sensors on the side of the tranny. I ordered all the sensors except the speed sensor because its $$. Anyway I replaced all the sensors and I used some seflon tape on the threads to help avoid leaking. I refill the tranny with fluid and clean up the tranny as best I can of all the old fluid on it. So I go for a ride and sure enough, more gear oil smeel in the car while moving. So I get back under the car to hopefully see where its coming from. Nothing I cant find anything with new clean fluid on it. One thing thats weird is I went for about a 15 min drive. Gear fluid smell comes and goes, get back home and imiediatly drive it up on ramps and leave the car running. Nothing, I dont smell anything under the car or anywhere around the car, and I dont see anywhere that it could be leaking from.

So any ideas, my only idea is that its leaking from the front seal of the tranny inside the bell housing. Anyone else want to take a stab?
