should be sitting in the pan or on the windage tray. Make sure to put a good sealer around the new one when you install it or you'll have oil leaking into the bellhousing/on the clutch.

for some reason I find it comedic when the "old school guys" (your dad) try to take their knowledge and fix these newer engines.

I give them lots of kudos for their "know how" of the old stuff. But parents and grand parents just don't understand all the changes these days nor do they usually want to learn...

welp thats where it was...it goes about finger length in..then drops straight down into the oilpan...you see that by just lookin into the hole...all in all it just turned into a mistake that cost me nothin but 7 bucks for a new freeze plus and 2 hours time..
