Default Should I let this Slide or NOT

Whats up everyone,
I just got finished replacing all the seals in my tranny and installing stage 3 clutch, 8.6 lb flywheel and skunk 2 dual bend ss.

Anyways what happened was i filled the tranny all the way to the top with Honda MTF and then screwed the filler bolt in. Then i realized i could not shift gears so i jacked the car up on one side to adjust the shift linkage. The car was not level so some MTF spilled out of the axle hole. Now there is a slight leak, im not sure if its just from what spilled out or what. i dont want the fluid getting on my header and cat and burning so i wiped off as much as i could.

now is there something i can do to ensure that the leak is fixed or should i just wait and see if the leak stops on its own.

thanks

If you replaced the seals correctly and everything it will be fine.

How did the bearings look when you opened up the case?

Put cardboard on the ground under the engine and let it sit a while.That should help you determine if there is a leak or not.

the leak was coming from the driver side axle hole

i did put cardboard under the car and the leak is dripping very slowly so i dont even think there is a leak anymore. i think the oil is just running off from where it spilled out earlier

thanks for the input

oh and the bearings were in perfect condition when i opened the case, the were perfectly spaced and everything
