Default trany trany, help help!!!!!!!!

ok herse my issue. i was on the high way tonight and i saw smoke in the cars headlights behind me i thout it was from my exhaust so i paid no mind. when i got to the exit by my house i smelled tranny fluid really strong, so i got the truck home and looked underneath of my truck and the entire underside is covered in tranny fluid i had the truck parked for no mone the 1 min and there were puddles of fluid dripping off of my axle, hitch, frame, and tranny. it seams to be leaking from the bell housing, which seal is the one that went and how do i replace it. luckly the tranny still works so fortunatly it didnt blow. its an E40D by the way.

Could be the input seal, the pump, or the converter.
