Extension tool to reach Oil Pan bolts

I noticed I have a tiny bit of moisture around the Center bolt that is up between the back of the oil pan and the transmission... I have the Manual trans. I think all it needs is a little Snug down... I have the correct ratchet just wondering if they made a 6" or so extension so I can reach up there and snug it down a bit... Thanks for the help... It's real small amount, not even enough to start thinking of making a single drop...

your local Sears/Lowes/Home Depot will have the right extension, I assume you are using 3/8 drive.

Yes, it's that Little Drive. Anyway, I cleaned it all up and will watch it, not even enough to worry about. And I know you can over torq and cause more leakage.. LOLOL So I will watch it for a while. Could you put a piece of cloth over the breather and zip tie it down to test the Idea it might have come from the breather?

I just got back from a long trip, and wiped oil away from the breather area that "vaporized" the parts behind it.
Sometimes the pan bolts do leak though.
