I used the BBK gaskets orginally and I got a small leak. After the trans came out I switched to a different brand and the problem went away.

Give it a week and then retorque the bolts.

its doesnt sound like it is leaking and when i look by the ports there is no carbon markings. when it is cold it sounds like there is bolts on something but when itwarms up it is quiet? i dont know what it is and its driving me nuts. it sounds like my car is falling apart and it only has 8000 miles on it. also i had instaled the mil's and drove for 200 miles w/o a service engine soon and it just came on today.
