The trick gasket to use the steel core rubber gasket for a 518 (P2464324). That said I have yet to see a trans pan that leaked because of the gasket. Usually the pan is the culprit. I wonder if Quaden still has any on the shelf left over from the dealership days?

Dry as a bone on the outside, after a couple of on/off cycles.

I once thought that was what I was chasing down, went through 3 gaskets, 2 pans and thought it was still leaking, turned out to be the shaft seal. others have seen it be the 0 ring at the dipstick tube. don't waste a lot of time and money on the pan if you have not checked above it yet.

Gravity is a funny thing , what may APPEAR to be the pan gasket leaking could be coming from a source above the pan ... and there are a few ... cooler line fittings , dipstick tube , shift shaft seals ... Also if he has a chrome pan and has not removed the chrome from the gasket flange he is never going to get it to seal short of welding the pan to the trans.

I'd guess you have a leak other than the pan gasket,as either the cork or rubber pan gasket is more than enough to seal.

After going thru 3 gaskets I ended up doubling up the gasket and it�s now dry as a bone. 1957 Plymouth (Hemi, Dual Quads, A833 4 Speed 9 1/4 w 4.10) Sold 1937 Dodge Pickup (Hemi, 6X2 intake, 46RH, Dana 60 w 4.56) Sold 1968 Plymouth Valiant 2dr sedan (354 HEMI, 46RH w/4.30 gears)
