Yes, there is a front and rear seal on the gearbox.

The front seal is behind the torque converter.

And to add to that, make sure you use original seals - don't ask me how I know...

Some aftermarket seals have a different internal diameter to the outer diameter and you can will pinch the seal when putting it in and the leaking continues...
