I replaced the engine, and my jeep just revs up and won't move in any gear. There is tranny fluid leaking from the front of the transmission. Would a bad input seal cause it not to move at all?

First some info...
what engine/trans do you have?
Was the engine rebuilt or reman? Is it from a JY?
Did you do anything to the Transmission? Remove any case bolts?
I assume the torque converter came off. This needs to be filled with fluid before re-install. Then the converter needs bolted to the flywheel/timing wheel correctly. If your converter is misaligned or damaged it would leak.
If the converter is toast or the bolts to the flywheel are broken, you would not build any pressure in the converter. This pressure is what turns the trans. There is no mechanical/geared link between the two.
It sounds like converter issues to me.
