Put it up on jackstands clean everything real good add a quart of fluid start it up put it in gear crawl under the car watch and wait for the leak

Fuggin' cork gasket....I would get a fiber gasket if possible. IMO they're better. Less likely to crush/split. Get the pan sealing area clean AF and dry AF first before installing. Proper torque. Check the pan for flatness/gouges/dents that may prevent sealing.

He did say he drove it. But then the leak showed up afterwards. So it appears to move now. Just went from moving to leaking.

I’ve been too busy and frankly just needed a break from it but I’m going to be working on it today to hopefully get it figured out. Not leaking anymore so obviously the fluid level is below the leak culprit now

Good. You're right, though. ALL engine/trans/rear end leaks, when left alone, will eventually stop on their own.

Now get in there and fix that thing!

My neighbor had a K2500 that needed the trans dipstick tube whacked with a hammer and 2x4 about once a month to stop its leak.
