Posted again as first seems to have got lost, and will no doubt reappear
just in front of this.
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?
