Unless the pan gasket leaks - there should be no difference between a
leaking trans with a stock pan versus an expanded capacity pan.
There are not that many seal point on an auto tranny - you have the
front seal, rear seal, side shift shaft seal, modulator seal (if you
have one) and the dipstick seal.
I'd powerwash the tranny, drive it and try and spot the source of the
leak. Starting with a clean tranny makes spotting leaks a lot easier.
