Tranny Leak

I hate leaks...in the past 3 months ive had a power steering leak, brake fluid leak, and transmission leak.

I orginally thought that we fixed the transmission leak...but aparently not...its back and this time its 10x as bad...i lose about 1 litre of fluid a day...NOT GOOD. Ive been checking underneath my car, and i suspected that the leak was coming from the transmission pan, so i replaced the gasket on it on saturday....Nope...still leaking. Upon further inspection it seems like the leak is coming from where the tube for the stick is connected to the pan. Kinda hard to explain this, but the measuring stick for the transmission goes into the tube, which goes down into the pan. It appears to be leaking right where the tube connects to the pan, although im not sure of this. Any suggestions on how i can determine where the leak is from, and how to fix it? I'm thinking that if it is leaking from the tube connection, i can just paste it up. Anyone else have problems like this? lemme know. THanks.

edit///
I was just going through a catalog and i noticed a part for sale..."AT Oil filler tube; O-Ring"...i was wondering if this O-Ring could be the problem?

Leaky o-ring is a common problem.

Unbolt the tube from the bell houseing and pull....then put the new o-ring on, smooth a little blue goop around it and shove it back in....wait 24 hours and then re-fill the tranny to correct level.

hey fellas, replaced the oring several days ago and been watching underneath my car. It appears that the oring was the problem, the leaking has almost COMPLETLY stopped...i'm still getting a couple drops from somewhere, kinda hard to tell but im still going to be checking up on it throughout the week. It appears to be coming from around the same area, but a very small leak. well anywho, thanks for the help and info.
