I crawled under the car to check some things out. The major concern was the oil piddles on the ground.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i237.photobucket.com-17475-1403417122.1.jpg) The engine was mostly dry and the transmission was wet. But that could just mean it was coming back from the engine so after taking the picture I went to cleaning. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i237.photobucket.com-17475-1403417122.2.jpg) The right bank of engine had some oil on it. Are transmission leaks common? Maybe the pushrod tubes are leaking? |

Not (just) the tranny. That engine definitely has leaks. In your first pic it looks like an oil drop about to fall from the boss at the rear of the case on the bottom.
