is your pan bent or damaged in any way? if it is you'll need to fix it, look for damage in the area. have you over compressed the gasket?

Please take the caps lock off before you type a response in the forum.
it's very distracting, and makes it difficult for members to assist you with the problem.
Thank You!



clean the entire transmission around the pan. make sure it's TOTALLY dry, and clean, so you can see if the oil is leaking from above the pan.

Tighten with a screwdriver type tool. Tighten each bolt a little at a time going around the pan.
