Fluid can run from one place to another and make it appear to be coming from various places. I would clean everything off completely and then start the car and observe the area to determine where the fluid is coming from. If the car is leaving a trail of fluid behind it it should not be a long wait to see where the fluid is coming from. If it is coming from the gasket there is no need to replace the rear seal again. If it is coming from the rear seal then why remove the housing?

I do not use gasket cement. I believe the gasket goes on one way only because it is not symetrical (I am working from memory here).

I would start all the bolts before tightening any of them. I would make sure the gasket was in the correct position when I did tighten them.

Five quarts sounds like more than is drained out when removing the drain plug and rear housing. Make sure the transmission is not overfilled. Double check this. Five quarts sounds like too much based on my experience.

Tightening the nut would push the flange into place, but the flange should be able to be pushed into place by hand before installing the nut. Personally I take the rear housings on my cars to the machine shop and have them pressed into place as they have all the correct sized tools to do this without distorting them.
