The Underneath of this engine is a mess "see earlier post about trying to clean it". I have a nice puddle of oil almost everyday, so today I put it on ramps, wiped it down good, and waited. And waited. It turns out it only leaks when it running. Then it leaks pretty quickly. It appears it coming from the passenger side, right where the engine meets the transmission. There is a plastic cover that it is coming off. I am pretty sure it is coming from the oil pan gasket. And the gasket looks bad all around, but real bad on that side, and on the other side by the oil filter.
I popped off the peep hole on the bell housing and it looks dry and clean in there. Can I assume its the pan gasket, or is there something else in that area that leaks oil? How much should I be paying to have the pan gasket replaced? Thanks guys.
