Hey guys. So about a few weeks back i noticed my 98 2.0L Beetle was leaking ATF on the sidewalk. Replaced the pan and gasket. and after a week of sitting outside i see its leaking again. Are there any other leak points that may be causing this?

Hmm, you might see; if you have some bolts on the trans pan, that are not tight and what brand gasket set did you install? I found that if I use a 1/4" torque wrench; to make sure, all the bolts are tightened to spec, that helps leaks and use high quality gaskets, like Elring or Victor Reinz.
I had one trans fluid pan; that had impact damage and not matter what I did, it wouldn't seal right (I ended up replacing it with a new one; fixed the leak issue).
