I'm getting motor oil dripping from the pan somewhere -- not sure where it originates, yet. It doesn't seem to be coming from the rear seal (replaced), or the pan and gasket (replaced). Maybe the front seal, but I'm not sure -- now that I've cleaned off some gunk a bit, I hope to find the smoking gun. First thing, though, is to replace the leaking fuel pump -- and convince myself that solvent on gunk isn't ending up in the pan and confusing the issue. And then, there's the matter of the o-ring in the tranny pushbutton cable housing. Yes, it really helped a lot, for a while. And while the leak isn't anything like it used to be, it's back. Am I likely to see any benefit from Gunk/Solder-Seal's product "M15-12" on a new o-ring? Now, for some fun stuff...
