I've been trying to track down a leak (or more than one) from the back of my engine, I'm in the process of swapping my transmission over to a t56 so I'd like to try to fix these leaks while the old one is out. Have many people here seen the bolts from their flywheels leak? Last time I had mine out (last year to try to fix this leak - it didn't work) I used red locktight when I reinstalled the bolts, but I'm wondering if YOU PEOPLE have had any luck with teflon paste etc? Not 100% sure this is where the leak is coming from, it may be the oil pan or the rear main seal - I replaced the rear main seal last year when I had the trans out thinking that was the cause - but the oil seems to be on my transmission and not on my oil pan, that has me thinking that it could be the flywheel bolts. I also bought one of those tools to turn my oil pump with a drill, I'm thinking of trying to pressurize the system while the transmission is out to see if anything is visible. Not sure if that will work or not but figured it was worth a try since the tool cost 16 dollars lol. Any Ideas People?????
