Agree with Harry Y -- until you know at least something about the leak, 
you probably won't fix it even if you did a lot of the things you 
mentioned -- for instance, maybe it is the shift cable, or maybe you 
cracked the case.  Remember, I said "maybe".  Find out where the oil is 
coming from first.  Yes, that means cleaning it up with a power washer 
or a can of Gunk and a hose or some such, park it over a clean piece of 
cardboard and see where it drips, for a start.  Then start it up and let 
it warm up a bit. Does it leak more?  Drive it around the block, turn 
the cardboard over, and try the park test again -- continue until you 
have some idea of where it is leaking,  Maybe repeat a second and/or 
third time, starting with the cleaning.  You could check/tighten all the 
pan bolts and the fill tube nut for a start.  Make sure the shift cable 
retaining screw is still retaining the shift cable.

Or, if you are simply going stark raving looney 'cause you don't have 
anything to fix, go get an old 'Glide and overhaul it, then swap out the 
tranny. Drivetrain removal is recommended.

Etc,
