Warped Pan, incorrect tightening of the bolts, seeping/porous case (happens
more than you think), stripped bolts...all can cause this.

Can the case be cracked near the pan holes? Or is this just one
of those situation where we need to resort to RTV on the pan
mating surfaces. <<
If it was me, I'd do the work myself.. Get a NEW rubber
gasket for the install. Remove the pan and give the
pan mating surface a really good examination for cracks,
smoothness, stripped threads, etc. on both the tranny
and the pan itself surface. Then I'd install the new
gasket. If there was uneveness or deep scratches
anyplace on the mating surfaces, I'd use the RTV.
NON-SMOKING AREA: If we see you smoking
we will assume you are on fire and take
appropriate action.
