After talking to mechanic friend. At this point I need to pull off the pan and see what the leak path is, bolts, gasket, pan....etc. All I know each time I dump out the AFT it is $30.

Correction to my comment about Loctite 518 (not Permatex)......I should have said the "NOT the Permatex brand equivalent" to Loctite 518. Without going into details in our manufacturing facility the only approved brand is Henkel (aka Loctite) due to quality issues with Permatex. Which BTW was once owned by Henkel, but as 2001 (?) Permatex broke off to focus on automotive supply.
