Use the frame rails - the jacking points you are using tend to fail and crumple.

BTW (I haven't read all the posts so I hope I am not Enzoing) - a lot of the oil on the passenger side may be from years of oil changes - each one will dump up to a quart when the filter comes off.

Clean the bottom side of the car off and drive it for a while to see where is really leaking.

NAPA has a 3M brake cleaner that works great - also kills brain cells fast...

I wish I had a lift! Your tranny needs help, most of them don't leak at all. It looks more like oil from your oil pan and or your balance shafts. When you reseal the front of your engine, be sure to buy new metal collars for the seals. Use liberal amounts of brake cleaner to degrease the bottom of your car. My input shaft on my tranny is starting to seep, so that will be fun to replace. I guess that is what I get for using synthetic tranny oil.

Hi Paseb,

I changed 3 gearbox in the same week, a few days ago. I'm finishing mine this weekend. If you want to come see, you're welcome. Ask Sysgen if he wants to come too!
