I have a 2002 Malibu 135,000 k and for the past month I have been having
trouble
with a transmission leak at the pan. So I went and had the gasket changed
and it still
leaked. Then I had a new pan put on and I still had trouble. Then I added
stop leak
to the the transmission. Also I had it torque down to specs and it still
leaks where
the pan meets the transmission. There is a smooth surface no nicks on it or
chips
either. It is a rubber gasket and it leaks in the same spot. It is where
the gasket has
a guide. I am out of ideas as what to do. If anyone knows about this kind
of problem,
any ideas would be helpful.

Look closely above the leak for a cracked housing.
Really close examination might reveal something.

Thanks for the idea but we already checked for that.
