[T3] The Notch's dreaded oil leak


A serious oil leak has spring on the Notch, and since its dripping as high
as the lower starter bolt (From the starter bellhousing seam) and and
extends forward along the bottom of the tranny and back and everywhere under
the engine Ive narrowed it down to coming from the bell housing.

This is a Berg 1679 with a NEW Brazillian case and only has 6K miles on it.

Oddly it doesn't seem to be into the Clutch yet.

My biggest question is has anyone ever had any issues with the galley plugs
on these cases?  It could also be a front main seal but It's a good red one
and I cant imagine it being bad so soon, I properly installed it by oiling
it etc.

How will I tell when the engine is out and everything is oily in there
weather it's a galley plug or a front main seal?  Or?

Sigh!  I really cant afford to dump time or money in the Notch with the
other two so needy right now.

Thanks.

Keith
