Don't use any RTV. Just a good quality cork gasket, install it dry, and don't over-torque. The root of the problem is that darned self-reproducing auto trans fluid. Not only will it self-reproduce, it will seek out even the tiniest of cracks to seep thru for eternity. The only solution is to switch to a manual. ;-)))) Congrats on the drive!
