Just pasting stuff over the leak never works. When its stripped down use Loctite 518. It works better than silicone and any excess wont leave lumps to cause problems inside the gearbox.

It'll do it, but I'm a little concerned that it's leaking from there................

Hmmm - its Still leaking
NOT GOOD

Looks like its either back to mechanics or the Recon people to say they've done it wrong

Never assume where the oil leak is coming from.

1) gunk / jet wash clean
2) allow to dry
3) thoughly sprinkle every face/joint/bolt etc with talc
4) drive shortest distance possible whilst periodically inspecting all the talc covered areas for signs of the oil leak
