Default Why is my pan leaking??

Well as it says I have a leak from my pan, I am pretty sure it is the pan because I can feel the fluid along the pan. Anyways I am not sure why it is leaking. Ive taken off the pan before and I put it back on and tightened all the bolts. I have taken out a couple of the bolts when I was working with the shifter mount, but I tightened them down again but now it seems like it is still leaking unless it is residual fluid, I will have to check tom to see if it is still leaking, but I was just wondering if it was even possible to still leak from the pan if all the bolts are tight? Any other ideas?

*Just to clarify, I dont think that it is the TC leaking because there is no fluid coming out of the bellhousing or in the little inspection hole just around the pan.

Thanks,
Chris

hmm thats kinda of fun...you would think they would at least tell me there is no trans pan gasket when they ship the engine and trans to me. At least they didnt forget the head gaskets...I checked that.

*Thanks for all the help by the way.
