    Hey guys saw this today not sure what could be the cause. What do you think? I just changed the seal 30,000 miles ago for the trans pan.

    It looks like it could be seeping fluid around the pan. Did you make sure all the bolts are still tight?

    Upgraded the valve body, torqued everything to spec about 1.5 years ago

    2mchfun Cool story, but did your new TTV6 tow a shuttle?

    Maybe you have bent the pan slightly during removal by prying it off. That leads to leaking even with a new gasket and proper torque. Seen it many times.

    May be the case. Was definitely difficult to remove the pan.
