Torque your bolts a bit, see if it solves it. Do not tighten too much. You will make it worse.

looking at those yellow markings it seems like this is a salvage yard tranny.. How many miles you have on this car and how long have you had it.

gasket and filter cost me 16 bucks 2 days ago so a gasket alone should be cheaper...and 5 quarts wont do it,when i drained mine it took roughly 7 to refill...specs call for 7.8 to refill so check accordingly
