I crawled under the car to check some things out. The major concern was the oil piddles on the ground.

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.

The right bank of engine had some oil on it.

Are transmission leaks common? Maybe the pushrod tubes are leaking?

people have posted that they have changed the tube seals without removing the

engine or exhausts. it is tight for a couple of the tubes.

I have chosen to remove the engine to do all the cleaning and seal replacements.

also do the hell hole.

the advice given within the instructions found at pelican parts regarding removing

the engine that I found very helpful, was to have two floor jacks.

as you can see I used the floor jacks to lift my engine and place four stands

for extra safety.. of course each to their own/resources.


I am in the process of cleaning my engine/trans..

it would seem that the tube seals and valve cover gaskets had not been replaced

in many miles.
