Mine is doing the same thing and I tried RTV and it didn't work so I'm looking forward to seeing what others have to say.

RTV on the bolts? Maybe that'll work.

Not RTV-I use Aviation Form A Gasket on the threads. 
Same as I do for water pump and head bolts.

For me, gear oil was leaking past the bolts. RTV on the bolts fixed it!
