Yes.
Sounds like you're the victim of a cork gasket! It compressed & you lost
the compression in the gasket.
Did you torque the pan bolts to specification when you installed them?

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?
