Wow, I'm curious to hear if this is your answer. I never thought of this 
possibility, so this makes me want to go out and check mine. I don't have a 
leak, but I hate the thought of those 2 parts coming loose....

I think your shop had to completely remove those nuts if they did any work on 
the AT so hopefully that was the whole problem.
