What causes oil 2 leak where transmition mounts 2 engine?

I had 2 replace the clutch in my car. Shortly after my car started leaking oil, where the transmition mounts 2 the engine. Could it be the gasket?What causes oil 2 leak where transmition mounts 2 engine?
Compare the leaking oil to the engine oil and the transmission oil (use the dipsticks), if its the same as the engine oil then its probably your rear main oil seal, if its the same as the trans oil then is the front trans seal.


This will depend on the engine and trans of the vehicle as some have cover plates at the seals which may have split a gasket and started leaking.


This also depends on exactly what you did when you replaced the clutch - maybe you did something to cause the leak - left something loose???What causes oil 2 leak where transmition mounts 2 engine?
gaskets
I agree with bkrboyz. If it's motor oil, the rear main seal is not sealing properly
rear main seal on crank damaged.
That is a possibility. Did you grease the gasket when you put it on? And made sure that everything is connected properly and nothing is to loose?
because most of the time the gasket near the trans leaks always first. Get a new gasket and go to the nearest autoparts store and find sealent for leaks when u put the gasket on put some of the sealent for transmitions.
