I dont think I've ever read of anyone saying their dct was leak free.

Topping it off is not difficult.

Slon makes a bottom pan and side pan that seal with gasket maker. I have the bottom pan and it is leak free but my side pan weeps a small amount as well. My plan is to replace that at some point when it makes sense to do with other work such as rod bearings.

There are a few vendors selling replacement bottom pans and even a viton gasket ($$$) that is supposed to seal better. Dont think I've seen feedback on that.
So is it better to maintain my leaking DCT and top off and replace with higher quality parts maybe in a year or two?
