Leaking fluid from tranny pan . . .

[Cougar Guy]

Have any of you had any problems with tranny fluid leaking out from where the seal on the tranny pan hooks up to the transmission? I've noticed small puddles of tranny fluid under my truck only after it's been driven for a while. The puddles are usually a little smaller than an oreo cookie . . . Anyway, I crawled under my truck and noticed that there was fluid building up and seeping out between the pan and the tranny, where the seal/gasket is located. I took it in to get fixed and got a flush done as well as having them replace the gasket as I figured the old one was just toast. Well to my suprise the leaks started showing up again This is only a day after having the repair done. I'm going to call the shop tommorrow and have them take a look at it but has anyone run into this before? It's pretty annoying and I'd like to get it fixed . . . I don't want to mess around with my tranny. Is there any possibility that the pan itself it bent and isn't sealing correctly? It doesn't look damaged but I can't figure out how the fluid is passing by the gasket . . . I would think this is a pretty straight forward thing. Any other suggestions or ideas? Thanks!
