My transmission was recently rebuilt.
I have a small oil leak coming from the bell housing on the engine side.

The leak is minor — about 4–5 drops per day.

The front oil seal has already been replaced.

It is not leaking from the torque converter, because if the torque converter seal were leaking, there would be oil sling marks inside the bell housing caused by the rotational movement when the converter is pulled out.

The front pump is also unlikely, since we installed it using new O-rings and sealant.

The vehicle is a Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series,
6-cylinder engine,
4-speed automatic transmission (A442F).

any advice would be
 
My rule is everytime a transmission is out the rear main seal gets replaced. Unfortunately most transmission shops and auto repair shops don't advise customers on this, shame on them.
