Gearbox breather leak

Hi Guys

I recently replaced my 1kz engine and once i started it noticed it didn't have any drive. I thought it may be the oil so i drained the gearbox oil and refilled to notice as i was filling it was coming out of the breather and the car wont drive. It still shift into gears though.
What kind of problem could this be? I drained roughly 6L from the pan and lost couple more from the torque converter.
Cheers

can you see the flex plate turning when the engine is running?
is then the torque converter turning?

did you take the torque convert out of the gearbox ??

Yes i took the TC out with the engine. I will have a look and see if the flexplate turns and the TC with it.
I may also have damaged the gear pump while fitting..

i know on other brands of auto trans, there is a sequence to fit the torque converter properly to get all the shafts & pump lined up
