It seems to me that if just one or two bolts came loose, the others would
prevent a leak from occurring. Only when most became loose would a leak
occur.
So I suspect that the bolts have been loosening over a longish period, and
that what you have here is a "last straw" situation. It took the
loosening of the final bolt to cause the leak.
Of course, you may be a bad man with many enemies. In which case, you are
not suffering from paranoia, but a realistic appraisal of your actual
situation.
I go for the first explanation.

Since I got out of the hospital my vehicle has been leaking transmission
fluid. I crawled underneath today and tightened the transmission pan
bolts. All but the one that is hardest to reach were loose 1/2 turn. The
vehicle sat in front of the apartment for two days while I was in the
hospital. The transmission pan gasket is cork. These are the facts.
My thoughts are that I do try to keep up the truck and it was not
leaking at all before then. I was the one who last changed the
transmission fluid and filter about 3 years ago, and had no leaks until
this. I can not imagine all the bolts coming loose the same amount by
themselves. Yet if someone wanted to cause me problems they could have
done a lot more damage than just loosening the transmission bolts a bit.
So I am wondering has anyone experienced bolts all coming loose the same
amount on their own like this?
