727 Leak Inside Bellhousing

So, looking at the trans, the input seal looks perfect and still has some greese present. I did see this pipe plug looking like it was loose. I checked a spare trans and this plug is flush. I took it out, cleaned off the Teflon tape, used pipe paste and reinstalled. Now it went flush. Could it be the source of the leak?
