Spoke too soon. This is how we spent our Saturday. Oil was hemorrhaging from in between the block and the bellhousing, Thought it blew the rear main seal !
luckily I could pull just the trans out just lifting the block a little bit and removing the exhaust
There's an oil passage that runs out the back of the block and through the bellhousing
.69 Cent part @ 8 hours labor !!
Got her fixed up in time to take the family to Rockport
