Oil leak that I thought was fixed....where else could it be coming from????
Ive got an oil leak thats drivin me crasy....I took the car to the track last month and after the 3rd pass which was on a 75 shot there was oil dripping out of the bell housing and some tranny fluid.....
well we pulled the tranny out had the pump rebuilt and changed the rear main seal....sealer was used on the flexplate bolts when it was reasembled.....a month before this a cam rod bolts and a new oil pan gasket was installed....
went back to the track on tuesday made 2 back to back passes on a 125 shot..."no leak....made another pass on a 150 shot....went to go make another pass and there it was oil under the car.....coming from the bellhousing and the car was low on oil........the only other gasket on the rear of the engine is the rear cover gasket "right" or is there somthin im missing....im just tryin to figure out what to order before we pull the tranny again.....
any input appreciated....

Check your valve covers to see if you pinched that gasket/o-ring. I had that issue once looked all over, it was coming out of the back of valve cover on the passenger side and falling down onto the bell housing. Was a mess. Not sure thats your problem but it was for me once. Good luck
