The torque converter is draining back into the transmission. It will drain fluid until it reaches half way down. There are two fixes. Number 1 is to pull the transmission and replace bushing in front pump and the seal. The easier fix is to remark the dipstick lower to the amount the depth the new pan added. If the deep pan is 2" deeper, then mark the dipstick that amount lower. That way you will have the same amount of fluid as original with the shallow pan. That gives enough room for the torque converter to drain back into the pan. The leaks are showing up because the fluid level after draining back is going above the pan rail.
