I need to remove the inspection plate at the bellhousing, but it looks like the starter will have to come off and that the plate continues up to the top of the tranny/engine block on the starter side. Thought I'd ask here what I'm getting into before I start so I can allot enough time.
Did a quick search but didn't find the answer...
*I've got an oil leak from this area, can't tell if it's the fresh engine oil (2k on it, but that's what I think it is...) or the old tranny fluid mixed w/ the dirt on the outside. Neither level is low. I've checked the V/C, filter mount (re-sealed that awhile ago) and the CCV port. It would seem to be the rear main or the tranny, thus the inspection plate removal.
**The odd thing is that enough fluid has leaked to coat the entire underside and leave some small puddles, but everything is full up. This just started after I picked it up from an axle seal re-work at a reputable local shop. It almost seems like 'someone' over-filled my oils, but I can't be sure...
Sure would appreciate any info! thnx!
