My 94 explorer (130,000 miles) has a leak that seems to be coming from the
front part of the trans pan. So I changed the filter and put a new gasket
on it. It still leaked with new gasket (torqued correctly).
Could it be leaking from someplace else, dripping down to the pan? Any
help would be greatly appriciated.

Thank You

Make sure it is tranny fluid if it is it could be a leaking front seal on
the tranny or leaking torque converter. If not it could be the rear main
crank seal.

Dipstick tube ??????

IIRC there is a rubber o-ring that will leak if cracked or tube misaligned
