Redline MTL in...seeing a small drip puddle under car

I finally got a chance to change out my transmission oil today in my '01 Viggen and I noticed as I cleaned up tonight that there is a very small puddle under the car (3-4 drips worth)...My process was as follows. Remove all plugs and drain oil. Replace drain plug and fill with 2 quarts of Redline MTL. Replace remaining plugs drop the car and drive around for 10 minutes or so going through all of the gears. Jacked the car back up and drained all of the MTL. Filled the transmission again with Redline and then took it out for a short drive again.
Any ideas why I might be getting a leak? I suppose it's possible the plugs aren't tight enough, but they felt pretty tight. To be honest, the drain plug was near impossible to get to so I might not have gotten it as tight as possible...although it felt like I did. Did I use too much oil? Do I need to drain some? Is that what the check plug is for? Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm pretty much a mechanical virgin so I'm not really sure what to look for. Thanks.
