Leon,

BUT-----if you just drain the fluid at the fill tube, you cannot clean
the filter screen, which I feel is a good idea.

If the gasket leaked, you more than likely over tightened the pan bolts,
and warped the pan a little, causing the leak.

I dropped my pan, removed and cleaned the screen of all the old clutch
pack Ca-Ca, and added a new gasket with no leaks.

Just have to be careful of over tightening them bolts.

Later,
