Ryan,
Hard to make suggestions without "being there" but the tranny shouldn't
leak due to (within reason) the angle it is setting, assuming the seals and
gaskets are good.
Here is a very good site for driveline info <http://www.drivetrain.com>
click on the "information" in the text of the first page and check out the
how-to's and troubleshooting sections.
Get a fairly cheap angle finder/protractor from your local hardware/tool
store and figure out where everything is presently at.
