The Rugusa transmission plug leak is stopped.
I used an aluminum washer with the aluminum pan to eliminate the chance of galvanic action from dissimilar metals and because aluminum is malleable to conform to possible irregularities in the mating surface. I also used Loctite PST 592 Thread Sealant, a high temperature sealant good for sealing gas, oil, steering and brake lines. This sealant can't be used with plastic so the nylon washer that comes with the Ragusa had to go. A year or so ago I used it to stop the weeping in my gas tank drain plugs. I bought it at Rural King, a chain farm store.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
