Transmission pan leak!!!


Hey guys well I recently did a trans filter and fluid change on my car. I bought the kit for auto zone, came with the filter and thin gasket. Well the pan gasket leaked.... but only from the passenger side... so i went to the stealership and bought a new factory gasket and pan just for shits and giggles. Well it still leaks... and only from the passenger side!!!! Any suggestions.... Please..... i'm so frustrated right now!!! Thanks!!!

did you overtorque the bolts, how are you actually tighting each bolt down in sequence, criss cross or what

When you took it off, did the pan twist or bend?

^ Would the way you screw it on really make the difference?

It might not be coming from there. I would've picked up some transmission/oil dye, drive it around for say... 30 minutes to 1 hr and have a shop inspect to see if they can find where its coming from. No other place on the transmission is wet?
