I've been crawling around under cars and trucks for too many years, and ordinarily wouldn't bother asking, but I don't want to do something I'll regret. I had this 46RE completely rebuild just 700 miles ago by a reputable transmission shop. I was under it yesterday squirting silicone on the suspension and noticed a small drip from the front corner of the pan. I want to put a ratchet on a few of the bolts and give them a nudge, not enough to ruin anything, just enough to tighten things in the area of the wet spot. So, do it? Or take it to the shop which is 35 miles away.

Can't hurt to check them.
Searching I found they are torqued to 13 Ft.Lbs.

I just hand tightened mine last time and have no leaks.
