I have read some very resourceful "fixes" in this thread. I went the easy way on the pan leak subject. I bought a new welded aluminum pan from Moroso. It has a very rigid 1/8" thick plate for the gasket rail, and comes with a very good gasket. Check it out........https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mor-42080.
I will also add as a leak potential is the tranny cooling lines. I think I'm fighting that demon now. I suspect after 50+ years of rubbing they've rubbed a pinhole in one. Just ordered new lines from SStubes (the filter delete option).
Best to all,

My ’62 shifts fine, but drips – seriously thinking about taking it to Pat Blais just to replace all the seals if nothing
else......"
So maybe we can put together a list of common failure points on the PB 727 for leaks. Here are a couple to start:
* O-ring on the trans filler tube
* trans pan gasket
Others?
