Don’t use just any RTV sealant, Be
sure to use the kind I suggested. John Hervey From:
Thanks to
everyone who replied. I'll try to answer your questions. I'm 98% certain it's not coming from the
base of the dipstick tube. I've looked at it and felt around there and found it
to be dry. The leak seams to be "oozing" out around the gasket itself
on the pan, collecting around the edges, and then dripping off towards the back
end. When I had the pan off before, I did check
to make sure the mating surface was flat. It seemed pretty flat around the bolt
holes. I suppose I could try pounding it flatter, but I'm looking for a more
"guaranteed" solution of fixing the leak. I know for certain I don't have the tranny
computer o-ring leak. Removing the harness was why I was in there in the first
place, and when I put it all back together I paid close attention to that.
Still observing it now, and I don't see or feel any leaking fluid from
there. I do not recall any copper crush washers
either in the old removed gasket or in the new one I put on. I can say for
certain that they aren't in the newest gasket I want to put on. I guess my question boils down to: is there
any reason I shouldn't use a permatex sealant/RTV seal of some sort (as John
suggested) when installing my new gasket? If so, does anyone have an
interesting solution to it other than "do a frame mod and put a manual
in"? (as much as I like stick, I'd rather not head that way). Thanks, -Kevin VIN 2234
