Normal Fluid Levels

I was wondering, what is the pan fluid levels when it has sat for a day or two:

If it is within NORMAL RANGE on the dipstick, is it ABOVE the gasket/pan???

My tube bottom is just about at gasket level, dipstick goes about an inch further and approx 1/4" of the checkered normal area is below tube into pan....

so assuming I have correct dipstick/tube etc, that I am reasonably sure that I have, it tells me that normal levels are above the gasket, and high enough to go up into filler tube (to get to top of NORMAL range) ....

The main reason I was looking at all this, as I have a leak from around pump seal (I think) and wonder why it does not stop (until I drained the tranny )

It will be well above the top of the pan.

Thanks for info Jim - any idea why the seal around the pump would leak? I was pretty careful that it went on correctly and seated in grove .... but guess I could have screwed something up .....

BTW - what is that seal called (so I can get another one!)
