The  most you   can  do  isput  fresh clean atf  on the  pan seal,
cleanout thechannel  in the trans and the  pan rail.  Stay   away  fromthe
permatex.Anotherthing make  surer  the bolt s  are allthe  sametorque.
Itmay be worthit to get a torque wrench  the next  time  you  do  it.
Chech also  if the  pan is warped.
