My Transmission is still leaking and I've tried everything.

Hi, I've been trying to get rid of this leak in my transmission in my '87 TD for the last year. I changed the pan gasket, then the pan itself with no luck. It is only on the driver's side, where all of the pistons, linkage etc are. Now that it can't be the pan or gasket, I'm guessing it must be a seal of some sort. I put an o-ring on the large allen key plug towards the front. this did not help. Are one of these components prone to leaking on a 300,000 mile car? What can I do while the transmission is still in the car? I am about to give up and get a rebuild, even though the transmission shifts great until the fluid gets a little low. Better yet, I'll just drive in into the Monongahela. I appreciate any help. Here is a reference photo.
