IMO, the deep pan is a band aid for a bad seal on the trans.
The deep pan won't have any affect on leakage since the FULL mark remains the same regardless of pan capacity.
And the "band-aid fix" is to fill the trans with a couple quarts less. And the fill mark is now a GUESS. That will be a PITA for the next owner(s).
I doubt the shaft seal in the VB is the issue (but it has happened). See attached for a visual. (note: snap ring and washer removed) {If you want/need this seal, I'll mail one to you; I have more than I'll ever use)
Just pull the pan, valvebody and fix it properly, as others have stated. No reason to spend more money on an extra-capacity pan when it's not necessary. -K
Death or Glory...it's just another story.
