Transmission fluid slowly leaking out of the drain and fill plug
I wrapped the drain and fill bolts with teflon tape, but I can't seem to reach 37 lb/ft with my torque wrench. I only stopped because the bolt feels like it hit a dead spot where anymore more force can strip it. Will have to wait and observe to see if it still leaks.

Don't use teflon tape. I did - and they still leaked and it made the torquing difficult. They ended up going deeper than they should have.
Use the PTFE thread sealant I suggested above.
