OK update guys! I went and bought a new pcv valve The other seemed to be ok, I can shake the ball never the less I changed it.So I bought some gunk went to the car wash got under there sprayed everything up that had oil on it oil pan /tranny let it sit on there for 10 minutes sprayed it off and I must say that gunk **** really removes grease and oil!I drove the car around for about 45 minutes got under there and the leak looks to be at the rear of the pan the last three bolts ( small drip alittle wet) on driver side so I got the socket out and snug them up alittle bit ...,,I'll keep u guys posted !

I know mine leaked there when I rebuilt the tranny. I replaced the rear seal at the same time and used a 4 piece oil pan gasket (before I had the tube K-member). If you do not put silicon in the 90's at the caps every gasket will leak. I used some Honda Ultra Flange II on mine and it still hasnt leaked. That is one silicon i would recommend to anyone. Used it on my 8n Tractor also and it works great. Also if you can get the one piece in there use it but still us silicon.
