coolant dripping from inspection plate??

[DSMer541]

so i havent even started my engine yet after my rebuild because i have to get a nipple welded on to my j-pipe for my boost controller......but i dumped in the coolant and oil yesterday , well when i came home from work today i noticed a small puddle of coolant on the ground and its dripping from the transmission inspection plate....all my hoses are dry up top and there is no trail anywere on top of the tranny.....anyone have any idea were this is coming from? should i not have put coolant in yet ? is it leeking past the head gasket even if the engine hasnt even run yet? im really worried

sounds like the freeze plugs behind the transmission bell housing there are 2 located there

its a new engine, hasnt even been started yet, block was bored cleaned inspected and assembled, new freeze plugs....... you think maybe the machine shop cracked my block when inserting new plugs?
