I have a quick question?
Regarding to a Transmission leak.
I noticed my 99’ dsm was leaking from the right back side of the transmission pan, so I bought a new gasket. Replacing it didn’t work, it leaked after a day being replaced. So I let the car sit, and weeks passed and I bought a new gasket and also some rtv silicone, I placed everything as is, I also let it dry. And it still leaked !
Have you guys had this problem ? and if so what worked for you guys. Or do you guys have any recommendations?

Any visual issues with the thread of the bolts or the transmission? And did you clean the surface prior to installation?
yes I sure did clean the surface, I even installed a new pan. I clean the bolts before installing ( each one still looked good to use) and where the bolts screw on I even cleaned each one.
