A couple weeks ago I had the neutral safety switch and extension housing seal replaced the 46RE in my 99 R/T. I thought that was it since I had the fluid and filter changed about a year ago. It's not my daily driver but I do drive it once or twice a week until it fully gets to operating temperature to keep everything working. It seems that every time I park it and once it gets around time to go for a ride I always see some small drip from the transmission somewhere. This time it appears to be a leak around the front edge of the pan gasket. I've had the plastic Mopar gasket on there but I had the shop change it last time so it may just be a rubber gasket from the Auto parts store now. I ran my fingers from under the NSS all the way around the pan flange and it was dry up until the front of the pan. You can see somehow it got a spot on the exhaust down pipes, not sure why the picture turns sideways. That's also where there is a drop on my garage floor. It's not a big puddle or even really a puddle. But after all I've had done it shouldn't be leaking at all. One time I bought a Mopar transmission gasket that I believe was the cork blend but now all I find is the plastic one. Which is better for sealing? I replaced the pan with the Dorman with the drain plug when I got the truck about 4 years ago now because the flange was bent on the original one. Is there a better leak free pan or better gasket that I should be using? I was always told RTV or sealant isn't usually used on transmission pans but is there any that might help?
