Default Tranny leakage (weld?)

So i rebuilt my tranny after throwin a bolt threw the casing... got the hole welded up (it was inside the bellhousing by the clutch, close to the diff. Anyways after gettin it back on the road i had a lil puddle maybe 2-5 drops every time i parked of tranny fluid and could never find where it was coming from... took it all apart and saw the weld and thought... could it be leaking from there?

What are the odds that the tranny is leaking from where it was welded up?
Are there any good ways to check if its leaking from there?

You could buy that dye (used with a black light I believe it is) and it will glow where it leaks from. Or, the old fashion way would be to wash your tranny down, and park your car over some cardboard. See where it lands, jack your car up on the right side, and look above where the tranny fluid lands. You might get away with honda bond or some silicon sealant. Take a pic when you see where its comming from!

except right now my tranny and engine are out of the car. I JB welded over the weld in there and hoping that fixes it... cause i cant think or see any other place it could be coming from.
