Default Trans Connector Socket Leaking Again

Trans on my '04 coupe (32,000+ miles) went into limp mode two years ago. Put in a new hydro-electric connector plate and electrical socket, replaced the fluid with Shell 134, got the trans re-flashed (County Transimission, Fairfax, VA - great shop) and everything was fine. Last week I noticed that the front passenger side of the trans was leaking fluid. Looks like the electrical socket I installed is leaking. I'm sure I installed it correctly (I'm an ex-Porsche-Audit tech) because it didn't leak for two years, and quality shouldn't be the issue because it's an MB OEM part. Has anyone experienced an electrical socket leaking after two years and only 500+ miles of driving? Comments appreciated.
