Re: Spacing between transformer and building
Assuming the owner of the transformer is an electric utility, you will have to check with their specifications. The rules in the NESC do not specify a specific distance.
Section 450.27 applies to other oil filled transformers installed outdoors and is very similar to the rule in the NESC.

This is most likely a building or fire code or even an insurance issue. Definitly not an NEC issue. Last time I had this type of project the spacing and oil leekage problems were addressed using information from Factory Mutual
