OK, I'm still stumped by the leaks--major.
First, my OD Transmission in my TR4A is leaking badly. The seal around the rear OD plug is part of the problem, but I'm seeing fluid in other places as well, like along the sides/ends of the OD unit and on that bottom round piece that looks like a freeze plug. Also, there is a little silver BB-valve looking thing down there. It's also wet. Is that some kind of relief valve? It actually does look like a BB.
I'll take this to the shop I guess, and have a pro look at it, but I'm used to being able to find and fix leaks. Not this one.
Here'a another. Every single bolt on my oil pan is wet with oil, and the front block might be the problem. On the garage floor is easily about ten table spoons of oil. Car has been sitting for 4 months. I just can't imagine that much oil coming out of my engine. The bell housing hole is wet, so I suppose some of the oil could be the rear main seal, but what are the main culprits of that much oil. It's as if it just sifts out while the car sits, and it doesn't seem like the pan gasket could be the whole problem.
Any ideas appreciated!
