transmission pan sealing

Fluid could be leaking down and collecting on the pan so it looks as if its the pan gasket. Try stuffing some rags around suspect areas above the pan. To keep dropping the pan and resealing is not working. Could try oil dye and UV light method also.
Well, I feel like an idiot with all the money I spent on pan leaking solutions. Since I had the tranni all painted, I didn't really see any signs of oil anywhere except at the pan edge. First tried the paper towels and lo and behold, oil soaked back near tailshaft. Put in the die and found a leak coming from one of the bolts attaching the tailshaft. Tightened and problem solved. Happy but pissed I wasted all that time and money, but that's the hobby. Thanks for the ideas. Now I can focus on my rear main leak and pinion seal leak. LOL
