Has anyone experienced trouble with leaks when using the stock plugs on the fill or drain holes?

I changed my tranny fluid about 300 miles ago, and did a follow up check today. Used new plugs when fluid was changed. Found that I was down about 250 mL. noticed a fair about of 'crud' on the top of tranny cover. Tranny oil definitely coming out of the fill plug.

I replaced the drain plug with a Dimple magnetic plug. No leaks from the drain hole.

At this point I am assessing that the rubber seal on the fill plugs are mediocre. The Dimple plug uses a crush washer.

I torqued the fill plug to 25 ft/lbs.

Any one have any thoughts?

I will check again in another 300 miles and if the leak continues, I am going to go with an aftermarket plug.
