Folks,
I'm working on the Bosnian piano teacher's 1989 300TE again. It has
had a persistent ATF leak ....it seems the have been leaking even
when the car is NOT running. Anyway, I ran the engine and got under
the car. The fluid seemed to be leaking out of the passenger (right)
side of the pan. So, I pulled the pan, changed the filter and
installed new gasket after making both sealing surface of
transmission and pan spotlessly licked clean ...not a speck of dirt
or crud. Not having any torque specs, I tightened the 6 bolts to
about 15 pounds of torque ...maybe 12.
I started the engine, fluid poured out from the right side. I went
under and tightened the bolts on the right side a little more .....it
seemed to stop. I placed a clean piece of cardboard under the trans
overnight and probably 2 ounces dripped out....maybe that was
residual drip. so i'm checking again tonite.
Suggestions? What IS the correct torque for the bolts?
Question ... the kit i bought from rusty included gasket, filter and
2 large and 2 small Al sealing washers. One went under the drain
plug ....where are the 2 large ones and the spare small supposed to
go (if anywhere).

thanks in advance!
