Default Finally stopped the oil leak

Finally beat the leak. Its was the block end plate. I did how ever double o-ring my CPS. I could see the oil dripping down the plate when I removed the two black plastic plates that are on the side of the bellhousing. One is under the starter, it can only be loosened without removing the starter or bellhousing. The other is opposite side near the oil filter. With both removed, I could see the oil start to run down the plate. With engine running

Once I got the whole rear susp and trans out. Then removed the torque tube and bellhousing, I could see the leak better. All though it didn't look that bad it just ran down the sides of block plate and down beside the starter and the oil filter.

Test drive was blissful, without the oil drip

If interested, I double O-ringed my CPS. I pulled the intake and the CPS. Took it to a good auto parts store with huge o-ring selection. bought two that fit. put the first in the normal grove and the second on the first 1/4 inch of the CPS. Then dropped it in.
