In addition, check out
from This Thread to see all the gaskets and o-rings that should be replaced. Rubber ones might be reusable, but that paper one needs to be replaced every time. Also, check to make sure the bolts are not stripped.

If you replaced solenoid and it is leaking in the same spot, then the paper gasket is probably bad. Did you replace that paper gasket when you replaced solenoid? It can look like it is part of the transmission body, I had to carefully remove mine with a razor blade. Link For Paper Gasket
