Default trans leak

I just did a trans service on my 96 xj with the 4.0 and aw4, after i torqued all the pan bolts down and filled it back up it leaked very fast from where the trans dipstick enters the pan, for some reason I can't get it to seal perfectly after I had taken it out, wondering if anyone else had this problem and knows a solution. Thanks in advance.

My dipstick tube is attached to the pan.

By attached I meant made as one and not detachable.

Yea mine was stuck too, but I eventually got it out, but when I finshed and put everything back together, it leaks where the dipstick tube and pan connect, I can't get a perfect seal.
