ATF Fluid Leak

Hi all

My 88 clipper was leaking ATF fluid so i changed the gasket, strainer, fluid etc and put it all back together making sure to tighten the 4 bolts to 15ft lbs but the damn thing is still leaking.

I have ordered some more fluid, another new gasket and 4 new bolts with washers as mine didnt have any washers on, i was going to replace the oil pan but i cant find one in stock anywhere i believe its part number 010321361F.

Does anyone have any suggestions??? something i may have missed, correct torque? etc

Its doing my head in

Many thanks

Pans don't go bad, they get bent, but that is about it.

Don't over tighten the pan bolts as they are steel going in to aluminum. You didn't say where it was leaking from.  So it could of been a loose pan gasket.

Its leaking form the front left side as you are face on to the car, i have ordered a new gasket and bolts and more ATF will change it again this weekend

It could be the 0-ring that is on the ATF dip stick tube, so also take a look at that as it is easier to see with the Skid Plate off.
