        So after changing the gasket and screen on my automatic transmission
there is a small drip/leak at one of the corners of the pan.  I've
tried tightening the bolts further, but it looks like I did not get the
gasket seated quite correctly.  I did notice that when I was putting
the new gasket on that it seemed to be a tight fit and it is very
difficult to see wether or not the gasket is seated correctly all the
way around once you start tightening those 4 bolts.
        So can/should I use some sealant/adhesive in the groove to keep the
gasket in place?  I'd like to get it right and know that it is in there
correctly and will last.  Anybody been there??
