Ok, since I posted last, I've had several gaskets on the tranny pan and it is still leaking...

I even got the one from the Chrysler dealer, and that one leaked also.

I also checked the flatness of the pan, it is fine. It is a deep pan.

The good thing is that I'm getting pretty good at dropping it. Luckily, it has a plug for drainage.

Ok, I'm beginning to think that perhaps it is leaking at the filler tube. I'm going to check that today.

But here is my question...

It only appears to leak when it is sitting (I know, otherwise I wouldn't notice it...duh!).

But I'm wondering if perhaps I'm overfilling it. The filler tube is NOT original. Does the fluid sitting in the pan normally lie ABOVE the seal between the pan and tranny? That is, perhaps when the car is sitting the fluid is supposed to be below the pan lip.

Anyone??
