So, looks like crazy longhorn called it. While getting ready to replace the seal the 3rd time, I noticed "spray marks" on the flexplate. So I put thread sealer on the bolts when I put it all back together and wah-lah, no leak.

Now it could have been the new cover or the 3rd seal getting it right, but I'm thinking I was just overlooking the bolt threads.

In any case, time to get the tranny back in and drive this puppy!

Thanks all!
