I´m in the same boat, leaking a little from the round plate and from the pan. I remember reading on a german forum iirc that there are no replacement gaskets for behind that round plate and that it´s very tricky to put back together. I´ve no experience as a mechanic so I´ll probably just leave mine.

The pan however is a different matter, mine leaks ATF quite badly despite changing the gasket last autumn. I think it might be warped and need replacing but until I can source one I´m just topping up the ATF every few weeks.
