The only place it should be able to leak is around the threads. Make sure you check it for tightness which is 80 in/lbs, but don't try to tighten it too far because it is a tapered thread and trying to screw it in all the way will crack the oil pump housing.

Just a note**
Make sure the oil isn't coming from above the sender and leaking out the bottom of the gearbox.
