Either a heater hose, the fitting, or a frost plug.

Sounds like a frost plug. Just have to pin point the area, and look closely for the leak. By the sounds of it, you shouldn't miss it.

Are you sure the torque converter was seated all the way back into the bell housing? Spinning it as you pushed it into the transmission?

Knock coming from the engine? Maybe loose torque converter bolts? Oil level... I don't know, just trying to jar your memory. An exhaust pipe knock...
