Oil pan leaking question Ok, so I just did a H/C swap and after I bolted the oil pan back up I noticed it leaking where the pan meets the bell housing...right at the bottom. I dropped the pan and did everything again making sure to torque everything in the right sequence, tighting the large one's first so the pan is aligned correctly. Still leaking.
I drained the pan before dropping it, but the car was on ramps so a lot of oil was at the back. My qustion is can oil splash back in the bell housing and then leak out that "notch" at the bottom? I noticed it stopped, then when I took the car off the ramps it started again.
Thanks!

The car hasn't been started yet after the H/C install. I'm just wondering if when the oil pan is dropped can oil splash into the bell housing and leak out the bottom. There is a little notch at the bottom where the bell housing and oil pan meet. The car was on ramps so everyting was at the back end of the oil pan when I dropped it down.
The anti-freeze is from pulling the heads and fluid draing down the block valleys into the oil pan.
