Did it come from that hole? I know my dipstick tube was leaking and it looked like it leaked from there, the pan and every other hole.

+2 on that. +1 for my 2wd tranny. +1 for 4wd tranny. Both times I had to find a new o-ring. It looked to me like it was leaking from that corner of the oil pan.

It's been a while since I checked the fluid level on my automatic (seeing as its not in the truck anymore), but if I remember it right, that looks low. Your problem is definately not related to it being over filled. I say replace that seal and call it done. And while you're at it, you may as well replace them all.

And that must be a 180 deg thermostat someone put in the truck, cause that's about where my temp gauge sits, but mine is a little lower than that... right on that line.
