Default oil leaking problem on eh6

hey there HT ive been having this problem with my 98 hatch (stock motor) for a while and cant get it fixed i hope some one here can help me out.
alright here's the story i swapped my stock dx tranny for a 92-95 ex/si tranny. Ever since then my car started to leak oil and i searched to try to find out what would the problem be, so i thought maybe its because the tranny its old maybe it needs new axle seals so i replaced them and all happy tought i would get my problem fix but erWW wrong choice it still leaved the same mark on the floor after i drove it around. So i tought maybe i intalled the axle seals wrong so i did research and bought new axle seals again and replace them more patiently after i finished i test drove the car a few blocks and when i came back home it still leaved the same mark so i was , to make the story shorter> i replaced the axle seals three times, engine main seal (the one behind the flywheel) tWICE. and the oil pan gasket jst once but didnt seem to make any good the car still leaves oil marks and dont have any other clue to what can be the cause of all this oil likage. what i want to know is if there is any other gasket or seal that can be replaced that might be causing this problem. any help its appreciated.

There's still a few more seals, match the leak on the ground to the car so it give you an idea generally where it is then get under the car and look

it leaks from the mating surface between the transmision and the engine thats why i replaced my main seal but no luck. also my clutch slips when im releasing the pedal mostly on 1st gear i believe its due to all the oil thats leaking from somewhere in there. What seals are the ones, i havent checked?

Assuming the oil is coming from the tranny, main input shaft seal but make sure oil isn't coming from some place outside. Could also be the rear main seal.

If it's either of those seals, u need to drop the tranny. Let me guess, your using motor oil in the tranny too
