Mid 2000's vehicle. Engine went pop. No external oil or water leaks. Replacement engine fitted. Being test driven by the mechanic there was a massive oil leak (which was found to be transmission oil ) and the vehicle lost all drive. Deliberately being vague re make /model What do you think happened based on the information provided ?

The person who put the replacement engine in didn’t reconnect transmission properly? Didn’t tighten something or forgot to put in a washer/seal?
Haha but what would I know I know nothing about cars lol!

Are you wanting guesses about the original engine, or the trans ?
It seems too obvious what happened to the trans.

Didn’t have the torque converter oil pump drive aligned when installing the engine

can be a number of things. Could be something simple like a loose cooler line or something major like damaged front bush in the pump. Without knowing where it is leaking from it can be only guess work. FWD or RWD for starters, was the trans removed with the motors etc

Come clean, you had a serious lapse of judgement and retailed a Mk5 Golf didn't you? Would need to know where the trans oil leak was from. Assuming its auto probably a cockup installing the converter or some issue with the cooler or lines if it's only occurred since the engine change over.

I would guess that seal, though some Audi VAG had a recall on the plate that holds that seal, it's O ring was wrong.

Minimum info for car questions is, Make, Model & version Year, Engine size & Engine model. Gearbox version & What's been messed about with on it, and repair history.

Did the torque converter get left on the trans when the motor was pulled ?

I'm thinking the "popped" motor is part of the question. What happened to that.

Oil leaks are simple and easy to figure. Surely Kaz Isn't asking us that .

You wish!. Kaz is being purposely deceptive because it's a Toyota or Mazda in question. Dried egg is real hard to get off especially when on faces. Well that's an engine and a trans, what's next? Franc mate! Have you noticed how the Toyota boys are out in force on this thread all hoping "like you" it's a Golf! Gufaw! snort, snort!

Someone did a or tried to do a burnout or donuts with a vehicle on hot tar seal that they should not have.

I think what happened is that OP started a thread, bailed, and left everyone hanging in suspense.
