I guess I'll go through all of it, with all the info here. It took me forever to find the torque specs for the pan... Can anyone confirm 11ft/lbs is correct? I generally pretty anal about torque specs.. Not sure why I wasn't in this case.

If it is bent, I will order a steel replacement, I won't try to pound it out.

Once i have it off, per Bob, I will wipe it all down, and put some masking tape on it. So I can see if it is leaking from above the pan gasket or at the pan gasket. If it is leaking for the shifter seal shaft, I am going to pretty angry. It was just rebuilt, and I think I'd have to pull the engine to get to that seal. That'd be the 3rd time this year it would come out.

Once it heated up, it cracked, and adios tranny fluid. That trip lasted about 2 more miles.. haha.. I actually replaced the Speedo housing b/c I had an issue with it leaking. I was missing the rubber seal that went between the speedo gear and housing. I couldn't find the seal anywhere.. so I just bought a whole new housing. Fixed that problem. I actually wrapped a white rag around it and went for a 2 mile drive, checked it, then a 5 mile drive and no leaks.

Again, thanks for the multitude of advice, I will employ all of it to get to the bottom of this.
