You're going to pull the transmission out, find the leak visually, and replace the seal. While you are at it, replace very seal you can find so you don't have to do this all again.

I hope you don't speak the way you write. Your post was hard to get through. That English class was there for a reason. If you want us to give you very good and accurate ideas and suggestions, you have to communicate the problem so a normal person can understand it without needing to work at it.

i sent you a PM telling you what you will need to do, but for the others here, what i basically told him was one of at least three things could be wrong:
1) the new seal could have been installed backwards, this can happen
2) the new seal got damaged when re-installing the torque converter
3) the pump seal can indeed be leaking.

i went on to also say that when installing a new seal, always give it a coating of the fluid that it is there to seal from leaking. in this case, since its an ATF seal, then coat it with ATF fluid. this will help the parts glide together easier and can prevent tearing or ripping of the seals. now "some seals" have a tiny spring inside the circumference of the seal which holds it to the shaft. if installed wrong or if allowed to be installed on an angle and not straight on, when installing the torque converter, that tiny spring will come off, and this WILL allow leakage as well. but this is only "some seals" that have this tiny spring.

if a seal is bi-directional, meaning it can be installed both ways, then this should not be a problem....AND it WILL NOT have a spring

HOWEVER, some seals have a "printed side" to it. this printed side must be OUT facing you when it is installed properly.....THIS TYPE of seal WILL HAVE a tiny spring..... i do not know the type of seal the torque converter has for toyota.

Toyotapartsman will know......

I DON'T own or will ever own a Toyota Camry. My lack of interest in the vehicle may have some what been reflected on my previous post. The problem was with my mother's car. I could care less about the piece of crap. I was rushing posting the problem that I was having from my cell phone. I am new to this whole Toyota Nation thing, but I've been apart of many forums in the past. A forum is just that, a forum. You as a subscriber have the option to help, comment, or ask. Looking at my post now, I had over 5 different comments. Including yours. So your opinion was not needed, and if it was so dreadful reading my post you should have just stopped before you even started. What exactly is a normal person anyway? Not only was your comment rude, but it made you look ignorant. By the way, you're from Texas. You should be the last on talking about anyones' grammar. I hope i made this clear enough for you to read this time. Next time keep your help to yourself in Texasshole.
Wow.
