Post tranny leak..

alright, i finally get me car going.. and now i have a bad tranny leak. well i took a shot and replaced the tranny pan gasket., well that was a no go. still leaking good!.
and its not leaking from the lines into the tranny itself.. but somewheres its leaking.
theres fluid on my y-pipe,(which burns up and smokes bad). and its on the starter!.. i cant seem to find the leak!. i thought it may be my front seal. but theres no fluid on the converter. well i donno, if anyone has any ideas as to what i can do to find out what it is. let me know!> thanks
