Leaking tranny fluid after clutch change

So I got my clutch changed over the weekend....broke it in for about 250 miles....then decided to open it up today. But every time I get on it I smell transmission fluid. There is also a small puddle underneath the car when I park. Anyone had this happen to them before? I'm guessing either one of the o ring gaskets went bad or my mechanic put too much fluid in the transmission/transfer case.

Drain/Fill bolt could be loose or they didn't clean the tranny after filling it.

x2. Pull the tcase and see if the oring is gone. I tore mine twice when I was installing my tranny. Here are the part numbers I would recommend you fix this sooner than later unless you want to replace your tcase anytime soon..
MD743612 o-ring between transfer case and transmission small
MD727944 o-ring netween transfer case and

+1 to o-ring but get under the car and see where it's coming from. I bought a pair of each o-rings when doing my tranny in case we busted one up. A month later my friend needed the same o-ring and I had one handy. Lesson: Always buy a spare of what you need. I'm heading to Mitsu now to pick up a couple nuts and bolts and am buying 2 of each, just in case.
