<VV> PG leak revisited again

[Harry Yarnell]

Maybe you have to remove the 'dimple' formed at the bolt holes. This is
common practice on engine oil pans, as folks tighten the bolts too tight,
dimpling the gasket surface of the pan.
Use a block of wood for support on the outside of the pan, and tap the hole
on the inside with a ball peen hammer til flat'
Do I have to mention the pan has to be removed from the transmission?

Subject: <VV> PG leak revisited again

 I apparently solved the leaking PG cable. Now I can't seem to stop a leak
from the PG pan. I've gone through two rubber gaskets and one cork one.  The
last was 
    cork with a new Permetex seal bead on both sides!! The leak is always in
the same place.

 There is no leak from above the gaskets. It is bone dry on the aluminum
part. 
The leak is on the rear of the seal on the drivers side. I made a short
metal reinforcing strap to go under the two bolts on that area and it seemed
to slow it down a bit.

 The pan is quite straight with no crack in the seal area. I believe my next
attempt will be a thicker cork gasket with a bead of Permetex on both sides.

This Permetex is a  new variety that is in a pressurized can and makes a
perfect bead to be compressed when the bolts are torqued (40-48 inch lbs).

 Anybody have a clue as to why the pan should leak in just the one place?
