Tranny pan leak
I changed the filter and put on a new gasket. Then I had a leak that was from around the pan. I may have over tightened and bent the pan so ordered and installed a new pan but used the new gasket since it had only been one a couple days. Still leaking, not bad but messy. I re toque the pan and that made little if any change. I read where it said to not use silicone but that seems like the easiest fix. The car is coming up on 200k but that shouldn’t make a difference. Any ideas?
