Being new to these cars, (about 2 months in now) I am slowly getting to know them and work my way through the issues.

One of them, is that there is a pool of oil after the car is left sitting.
Mostly, it only leaks after a drive.. when the oil is hot.

I pinpointed the leak to the taco plate area.. I don't have a oil temp sender so I am not sure what is under the plate...
But there is some sealant around the plate area. The sealant feels very stiff.. almost like JB Weld but I don't think it since it flexes a bit when I press on it..
I found that the leak was a pinhole in the sealant..

Should I be trying to remove all the sealant to see what is under there?
Or should I just put a "patch" over it and keep an eye on it?

A big O-ring, plus a paper gasket, plus two sealing washers are needed. Plus cleaning out all of the old crap.

Another thing to check, though, is the pulley for the thermostat flaps. It threads into the case on the left side, and the hole is actually a through-hole. If the pulley and bolt are removed, it will leak out when you drive the car around corners.
