hi there
if it needs topping up then you have a leak. check the pipes to the cooler at the front of the car first.

After that have a look at the bottom of the gearbox - I don't think its particularly common but the sump gasket leaked on mine.

If you're worried, take a small 1 litre bottle of 'box fluid with you to be safe

Hi Mate, did you find a leak! No. As you said its been in the garage for an engine replacement. If they removed the convertor with the engine, or desturbed the pipes, they may have lost some oil and not topped it back up.
Have you had to top it up a number of times ?  If not you mite now have it at the rite level
