And this...
Milodon One-Piece Oil Pan Gaskets 41000
Simple logic says that one of the best ways to avoid oil pan leaks is to make the pan gasket one piece. That's the philosophy behind Milodon's one-piece pan gaskets. In particular, they end leaks at the corners, where multi-piece gaskets often fall down on the job. They're molded in one continuous piece of rubber, with steel inserts around each bolt hole, so that the bolts can be securely tightened but not over-tightened. Because of this construction, these gaskets are reusable.

A Poor Attempt of an Under Body View.
Drained and took the deep trans pan off.
Put the old one back off for now.
Drained the oil pan and filter.
Thought I take a short video while I laid on the floor.
As you can see I need a new radiator.
