Drain the pan.

Did you tighten the bolts down to 8nm in the suggested sequence?

Check the bolt torque (10 NM) and tightening sequence. See if some bolts came loose.

Otherwise as stated, drain the atf (into a clean container for reuse), drop the pan, clean off the gasket and mating surface and reinstall.

Is that a genuine ZF pan, or an aftermarket brand, such as eBay no-name brand?

Can you reinstall the pan after the gasket has already been "crushed" ?

OP's post implies it was recently replaced. (I mean, it would not make sense if the pan was replaced like several years ago, as in typically the years-old N52 leaking oil like a sieve). The fluid sure looks new. Or maybe it was years old.

It is rubber, and *if* it was just been installed, so I do not think it is a problem. However, if it had been on there for years, then I would change out the gasket (it is sold separately from the pan).

You sure leak in tranny? Have you tasted said fluid? Looks more to be oil...
