Transmission leak advice

[T A]

Thanks in advance for the help. I took the TJ to the shop for a couple of items, one of them an ongoing slow trans leak. They looked at it and said it was the pan gasket and they replaced it. Unfortunately the leak is still there same as before. I put in some dye drove it a couple of miles and took photos of the spots where I see the dye. Do y'all think this is still the pan gasket and they just did a crappy job replacing it? Or is there something else going on? Anything else I should try or check before I try and replace the pan gasket myself?

One thing I just noticed. This bolt head looks like it's part of the leak, but it's definitely not one of the pan bolts. Anyone know what this bolt is and why it might be leaking? Could it just be spray from driving?

virtually every leak will run to the pan if you let it run long enough. Clean it all up, fill it up, and just let it idle in N for a while and see if you can source it better that way. You may have to drive it, but stuff tends to run more & blow around more. Many times you can find it by just letting it sit overnight.

Is this the cover on the front of the transmission where the input shaft seal is located?

I was fighting this issue for awhile, thanks to Hear I was able to find that both my shift selector seal and my neutral safety switch were leaking. It had also looked like the pan gasket was the source. After replacing both of those parts, leak is gone. Thanks to the all the knowledge on this forum.
