help new to the LS1 motor well guys, finished the swap. well now i have a oil leak. i replaced the oil pan gasket, real main seal. i did this after the swap was done. so i pulled the tran's and raised the motor. well its leaking again, dripping from between the trans and block. am i missing something. the leak seems to be worse now then it was. i have not pulled the tran's yet again to see where it is coming from. just looking for a little advise. so now the next problem is, that if i pull the tran's, i'am think just pull the motor and replace the main bearings and other stuff, maybe even a cam swap. the motor had 90 thousand miles on the clock
so if you got any advise for me, it will help

being reading on some oil leaks in search. the oil pressure switch, what all does it take to replace. being that mine is in an older car. it should just come straight out. is there a gasket too, or does it just screw in, do you use silcone.
help anyone
my transs is auto. does that matter. because when you say pilot bearing, i think of clutch.

since there is no pilot bearing its easier, there is a little freeze plug in the center of the crank, if its leaking replace it with a new one. also the oil pressure switch is on the rear of the motor right behind the intake manifold. it is a 1 wire sensor. the new one has a compound on the threads to seal it when screwing it back in. it seamed like liquid teflon i think.
