transmission oil leak

anybody any thoughts on this problem?
I have a leak on the 960 AW 30-40 transmission sump pan (leaking from the propshaft end) so I removed the pan (some difficulty) and re-sealed with loctite black (what the garages use according to Andrew page)
this didn't work so spoke to loctite who said the sealant needed to be ( lost the detail of this but was obtained from Halfords) so I resealed with this sealant and its still leaking
The sealant was to a good thickness all around the pan and around each bolt hole
The pan was offered up to the g/box with no sideways movement to ensure what should have been, a good seal and all the bolts tightened to 7Nm
The oil that's leaking is from the joint of the box/pan not from above it so what am I doing wrong? and should I change the pan
the pan was checked for damage and also I ensured the face was flat.
ps when I removed the pan the first time I found a 6mm bolt sat on the magnet! I found its home and replaced it!
any thought's on the next step?
Thanks
