Is the tube for a dipstick to the trans supposed to have a gasket or o-ring? I've had this annoying leak from it and despite unbolting it and reinserting it, I still leak out a fair amount of fluid. Getting a little frustrated

If the O ring is good may have 2 drop the pan clean the hole/tube end w brake kleen & silicone it. I had a pesky one finally got tired of repeated leaking so I bit the bullet & dropped the pan. Gave me an opportunity to ch the gasket/filter/adj bands. Good visual on the O ring & go from there

I recomend droping the pan,clean with brake clean,airdry,new o-ring and use the MOPAR Black ATF/RTV from the dealer. well worth the 5$ for the ATF/RTV and new o-ring from the dealer. also a good time to up the pan gasket for the reusable one from the dealer 727-#2464324ac

Is there supposed to be any kind of seal at the top of the tube, or should it be able to vent?
