S320 trans leak

I changed the transmission oil filter and the gasket on the pan. Then I filled the trans with oil, and adjusted the level with the engine running and the car in park. Now, I have a leak from the seal. I torqued the pan to 6 pounds. I have taken the pan off and checked the seal fit, which looked good, then replaced it, and retorqued it again.
Any ideas what is wrong?? Should I be using some spray gasket sealer??
