the pins that the band levers ride on go in those holes..there is a threaded plug sealing the hole..looks like the rtv is insurance against a leak.

Pan contents looked fine - slight bit of "metal dust/sludge" nothing unusual. Pan leaked like a seive, will be upgrading to the new gasket - also filler tube base leaked - need to address best way (new O ring and sealant ?) .........

What worked for me on that issue was when I had the pan off was to clean the hole with brake kleen so the black RTV would adhere. Not sure if you need a regular O ring or a square cut one

It's a regular o ring , as said clean the hole good , put a big bead of RTV below the oring , install the tube and let the RTV cure overnight.
