The oil pump may be the cause. You will have to shimmy & maneuver, gently around the oil pump pick up arm which may be holding u back.
Some times you need to unbolt motor mounts and lift motor to remove

did you pull the rubber plugs between the motor and trans out? there are either nuts or bolts up there
SOURCE: Removal of oil pan?
The car has three mounts in a triangle configuration. The front trans mount, the passenger side motor mount and the rear motor mount. I do not know if anyone has ever successfully raised the engine to slide the pan out, but remember, if you do this, the pan goes back on with anaerobic gasket maker on it, so make sure you can slide it out with grating on the underside of the block. If you can't, then it will likely be impossible to get back in place without smearing the gasket maker all over and making a heck of a mess. The commonly accepted way to remove the pan is to remove the two front subframe bolts and allow the subframe to drop enough to get the clearance you require. The bolts are 18 mm heads and are really torqued on there so you will need a serious breaker bar and cheater bar to go with it. USE SOLID JACKSTANDS or BETTER YET, RAMPS to do this. The force you will need to apply can take the car right off a single jack.
SOURCE: I have transmission leak, i mean it comes right
maybe the seal between the pan and tranny. or maybe the drain plug on the tranny has came loose.
