Only when you shift to park? Sounds like a transmission problem. I'm assuming you were talking about the engines' oil pan.

If the oil drips on the ground in the vicinity of the oil filter, it could be that your valve cover gasket is leaking.

We need more info.

Were the seals you replaced on the transmission oil pan or the engine oil pan?

Is the oil leak on the driver's side or the passenger side?

Is the oil red like transmission oil or blackish like used engine oil?
