Default Tranny leaking

I was under my car upgrading the fuel line last night, and noticed the tranny was leaking. I looked up the torque specs on the pan and they were way loose, so I re-torqued. It also looks like it is leaking at the neutral switch. Can I retorque that? I dont want to screw anything up, especially since I dont have the engine back in yet. I thought I would monkey with it after the engine is in an running good, but what do you guys think? The tranny was rebuilt in 03 and doesnt have many miles on it. (approx 5-6000) Thanks

Default RE: Tranny leaking

There is a seal behind the neutral switch that you may need to replace.BUT.. make sure that it isnt leaking out the vent tube above the switch. You may have fluid flowing out of the torque converter back into the case if it has sit for a long time. This would cause a "overfilled" condition in the case. Causing it to leak out of the overflow tube.

FWIW.
