Are you sure it is still coming from the rear main? Wherever it is coming from it sounds like a gusher for sure. You could have screwed up the new seal or you could have a leak from the housing that it seats into. I always snug the bolts on that housing when I am in there replacing the rear seal. I also replace the input shaft seal on the trans while I have it out. Check all of your other stuff real good, hose it all down with some brake spray clean and check again and then when you have established that all of that stuff is dry and tight take an inspection mirror and a light and look up around the rear main. Once you take that saddle piece off that covers the access to the torque converter bolts you will be able to get a real good look at the rear main with the mirror and light. If it is the rear main the only way you are going to get around having to do the bear of a job all over again is to pay someone like me to do it for you. Sorry, no magic wand there. Heck you wanted some more practice pulling transmissions anyhow, didn't ya?
