I can't grasp what kind of mechanic leaves when the pan is still leaking.
Just imagine if you were headed out for a long day driving just to burn up the transmission for low fluid or even have a fire if the fluid blows back onto something hot.
I've seen more than a few transmission pans leak ATF (massively) after installing a new gasket and a few heat/cool cycles. I don't know if the OP stated what make/model transmission he is talking about. IMO, USE AN OEM GASKET AND TORQUE IT TO THE FACTORY SPECS USING THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED TORQUE SEQUENCE. If the pan and the case are straight, they won't leak. Do not use aftermarket gaskets or non-recommended sealants. Especially if they are different material/thickness from the factory material. Think about it. The factory gets it right several thousand times a day but still not 100%. (much better % than others) They must know something others don't.
