EOD Leak
No matter what I do I cant get the bolts to stop leaking on the pan to my trans.Anyone have a fix or recommend a good type of silicone that won't let the trans fluid leak out.

make sure you have a new rubbery gasket. Do not torque down too tight. This will deform the gasket and leak. Use no silicone sealant. Make sure the sealing ridge on the pan is not deformed or the pan itself is not bent out of shape. The torque on these bolts is only 10-12 ft/lbs.

If you want to give up on the gasket you can grind the raised areas flat around the bolt holes and use nothing but a good silicone. I have done this a few times on a few stubborn pans.
