sooo i get home from being at lake powell for a week and find a big (10" circular) puddle of ATF under my car. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'll have to look at it tomorrow during the day time but total bummer. I have two theories about this. the gasket is rubber not paper like the original. perhaps I didnt tighten it enough or I tightned it too much? To be honest I would think it would be on the "not tightened enough side. I drove it all over for a few days before leaving with no leaks what so ever. Im thinking if tightening it a bit doesn't work I'll remove and replace with the factory overpriced paper gasket and tighten to spec. Im hoping if I get it just snug it will perhaps help. It was really laxed on the amount of torque I put on it.

total bummer if I have to remove and replace but now I feel pretty good about how quickly i could do it if needed. probably in 2 hours 3 hours tops. The heat is the worse part. does the truck sitting for a week with a fairly new gasket in terrible weather do anything? I'll keep you guys posted.
