Default Double gasket??

After 3 months of adding transmission fluid every now and then I have had time to get under and see where it might be leaking from. Appears its the tranny pan from one corner. Since im pulling it off would it be a good idea to double them up. Just to make sure it make a seal all the way around. I had a guy do this once on a slightly warped exhaust manifold and was curious if this would work. I plan to lower pan. lightly sand and clean completely down to metal/aluminum. Spray copper coat and double gasket.

Double gaskets will most likely distort the pan even more. With pan off and cleaned up, invert it on a flat surface, a piece of glass is the flattest, but seeing as how thats hard to find, if your mother or wife isn't looking use a window and check for warpage. In my opinion, double gaskets is double trouble.
