First I would apply por-patch: http://www.por15.com/pgrp=PP&dept=10rodinfo.asp?
then I would go with the starter kit on the whole pan:

I think if you take off the inspection plate on the tranny.It will reveal the whole backside of the pan.Or at least most of it.Once revealed Wire brush or wire wheel it and apply as instructed.You'll be good from there.Once you wire wheel it you should be able to see where its seeping.If not,Than I would do the whole backside.why not,cant hurt.

The inspection plate is the black plate at the front of the tranny that butts up against the oil pan. There's 3 10mm (IIRC) bolts holding it on. I bet you will find out you have a turbo pedistal oring leak or a EPBV oring leak. Very common on our trucks.
Is your pan rusty (bubbly)?

Sorry Bob.From the way i read your post,I thought it was a definite that you knew the pan leaked back there.If thats not the case,and its leaking from some other place.Then running down the back of the pan,These guys are steering you in the right direction.If it is your pan leaking then its the Por-15 as stated before.
